From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the early 1960s, in a small village on the vast North China Plain, beside the often-open Grand Canal, a group of farmers who had relied on the sky and lived in peace and quiet had their lives and destiny inextricably linked to the outside world, as if overnight, because of the return of their "prime minister" who had spent most of their lives in the capital. However, as time passed, these connections quickly disappeared, and the people in the village returned to the land that their ancestors had relied on for generations, living like ants, year after year. However, unknowingly, fate seemed to make them understand the mysterious meaning of the simple word "".

It is profound and understands the ups and downs of life. In a broad sense, it is shaped by the times. In a narrow sense, the people of the Celestial Dynasty are sophisticated, beautiful, ugly, neither beautiful nor ugly, neither ugly nor beautiful, etc. It can be said that there is profound meaning in the words, and there is connotation in the words. Looking at the whole book, a picture of human fireworks has emerged, and it is also a dynamic picture. The mountains and rivers are vivid, the villages are vivid, and the village men and women are even more vivid. It doesn't look like they are reading a book, but like watching a movie...
It's particularly beautiful, unpretentious, real and relevant, just like what the countryside really looks like.
The storyline of this book is real and vivid, making me feel like I was in the North China Plain of that era. I especially like the character of "Master Xiang". His return to his hometown brings changes to the small village and allows people to see the impermanence of fate. This is a good book worth reading, recommended to you!
A vivid picture of the countryside, the people and things of that era, those who are interested hear their own past, and those who are not interested hear boring stories. The joys and sorrows of the people, the tragedies of the vicissitudes of time
Well written, I like reading it
The plot of the book unfolds like a picture scroll, the characters are exquisitely and vividly depicted, and the sense of the times is very relevant. Looking forward to a follow-up!
