This book showed me an affectionate and tenacious mother who spent her whole life waiting for her husband to return. The mother's perseverance is touching, and it also makes people think about the meaning of love and family. This reminds me of He Xiulian in "The Ordinary World". She is also a strong and kind woman. This book is worth reading. It will make you feel the greatness of maternal love and the reality of life.
I want to know that in the end, Mi Dong, the crystallization of love, was indeed displaced.
