Plant Stars and Flowers

In the long river of time, memories twinkle like stars and bloom like flowers. Planting Stars and Planting Flowers outlines the trajectory of life with delicate brushstrokes. Starting from childhood in rural areas in eastern Henan, the time of being bullied as a "freak", the cruelty of school violence, and the complexity of family love and entanglement are all restored one by one. The author unreservedly shows the pain and tenderness in life: a childhood stained by spit, the crushing of high heels on the school bus, the warmth of her sister's fifty-cent snacks, and the warm light of the earthen wall when her father taught writing. This is not only a recollection of personal past events, but also a light that lights up the souls wandering in the dark night. I hope readers can draw strength from it, feel the impermanence of the world in real and tangible details, wipe away their tears, and move on. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
