Four Generations under One Roof (complete Collection)
by Lao She
About This Novel
"Four Generations Under One Roof" is divided into three parts: "Confusion", "Stealing Life" and "Famine". With nearly one million words, it is the longest one among Lao She's works. The entire work is set in the occupied area of Beiping during the Anti-Japanese War. It describes the psychology and experiences of more than a dozen families and more than 100 people in Xiaoyangquan Hutong, centered on the four generations of the Qi family. Their ups and downs, life and death, mental torture and deep suffering are reproduced in the story of the Japanese invaders. Under the brutal rule, the people of Peiping went from being confused and depressed, enduring humiliation to gradually awakening and resisting. This process eulogized their valuable national integrity and the Chinese nation's unyielding will to fight and determination to resist the war. It profoundly demonstrated the difficult and tortuous path that ordinary people have traveled in the historical process of the great era.

Read classics to taste life
After reading the beginning, I understood the cuteness of Mr. Lao She. It's great.
Mr. Qi has a very good mentality and only prepares three months of food at a time because he feels that any difficulty can be solved within three months. I have to praise this mentality and this operation. Three months is equivalent to giving myself a deadline, and it is also within the range that I can accept.
