The changes of generations and the psychological development at each stage of life. At first glance, it seems that everyone is the protagonist, but in the end, they are all supporting characters in other people's lives. I thought that Ji Ci's wisdom and decisiveness would make her live a good life. She had indeed supported the family, but sufferings existed one after another; I thought that the fair-skinned Luo Jingjing could be immune to the world, but it turned out that she was ill-fated and had a hard time, and her youth depended on her mother-in-law's face; I thought that Xifang could finally put together a good performance and see through the situation, but unexpectedly her husband Wen Wu Bin died. Although she has a weak personality and is unable to handle things, she is also unfaithful in her marriage. She is also willing to give herself a reality or stimulate herself in the spiritual world and outside of marriage... People look at the sky, cats look at fish, reality and what they want are always different or different. When I was young, I liked to think, challenge, excitement, and differences. Only the washing of time can make people calm and accept it calmly.
While reading this book, I have been surrounded by the friendly local dialects of Henan, which makes me feel comfortable and proud. Unexpectedly, the author showed the local idioms of Henan Province vividly and without any violation. When I read Xifang in the book, it was like seeing myself, very kind. The author should also be from Henan, otherwise he wouldn't be able to write with such a local accent.
The brain that is used to reading cool articles couldn't take it in for a while, but it was slowly attracted. Ji Ci was illiterate, but she was the wisest person. The principles of life were told in the easiest to understand nonsense that even a few years old children would like to hear. It made people nod in agreement. The whole article was in Henan dialect, the most rustic kind. I could understand everything my grandma said.
I found that I can find my own shadow in this book. The characters in the book tell us that people have thousands of ways to live. After reading this book, it may have some tips or influences on some of the choices we make in life.
It is really a good book. The author has good writing style and vividly depicts the hard-working, humble, strong, cowardly and brave ordinary farmers raised by the land of Henan. Kind and calculating. Step by step. Generation after generation walking...
I read it in one sitting in one day and one night, and it brought back many memories. It's like listening to grandma and mother telling their own stories. There are many words in it that were said by my mother and grandma. Reading the story, I feel warm and sad at the same time.
Recommended, worth reading. As a full-length novel, it is very important to maintain readability at all times, and this novel undoubtedly achieves this, keeping readers interested in reading at all times, and making readers unable to put it down during the reading process. This book closely revolves around the fate of four generations of a family, with a time span of more than 70 years. It was written from the 1930s of the Republic of China to the advent of the new century. It is the story of the struggle of four generations of a family, the ups and downs of their destiny, and the experience of changing from rural people to urban people. The plot of the book is twists and turns, the story has ups and downs, has a strong local flavor, and the language is fluent and beautiful. It can be regarded as a novel of very literary standards.
Although it narrates things from a long time ago, it makes people feel that it is not an antique, nor is it old-fashioned and makes people depressed and irritable. It is a truly integrated into that era of poverty, that difficult era, that era of troubled times. It makes us happy, makes us surge, makes us cry, and makes us cherish the good days now. We have to meditate, we have to think, we have to recall that in the rise and fall of a family, women are the finishing touch. Women are the living bodhisattva of the family. Women are the vine for reproduction, the never-ending note of the family, and the landmark of the ancient family totem. Love our barren land, love more. Yinghe, loves kind and strong mothers, loves those women who dare to love and hate, loves those farmers who stick to the land for life, loves the beauty of everything in this world. It is very easy to understand, very down-to-earth, and very able to attract the hearts of readers, sighing, lamenting, and praising it. Cheers, Duowan woman - Ji Ci, you are the best, you are the representative of thousands of Chinese women, you are the monument of good mothers, you are the powerful pillar and the spiritual pillar of China's glory from ancient civilization to the world, and the strong evidence and strong guarantee of China's totem!
If you want to understand the living conditions of women in the last century, I suggest you read this book. This is a rare novel that uses women's personal experiences as the main story background to tell the story of reform, opening up, and the changes of the times. The storyline revolves around the relationships, inner conflicts and emotional developments among several female family members. Through meticulous descriptions and rich dialogues, the book shows the emotional entanglements between characters, family changes, and conflicts between individuals and society. Readers can clearly feel the ups and downs and changes in the rich inner world of the female characters, and at the same time understand their life and growth situation in a specific environment. Women may indeed face greater difficulties and obstacles in the development of the times.
This book tells the history of a family for decades, from the Republic of China to the land reform, from liberation to the establishment of a large canteen, from the famine years to the Cultural Revolution, and all the way to reform and opening up. The book describes the love, hatred and resentment of four generations of a family. We watch the people in the family travel around from birth to old age, from the prosperity of the family to the decline of the family. In the changing times, the characters age one by one, and a group of new lives appear. The old people no longer resent and start to learn to forgive and let go, and the new people face novelties and new challenges.

This is a book about life. You need to be able to calm down and experience the development and changes of society and people over the long years through the detailed and trivial descriptions of life. It is difficult for people without sufficient age and experience to integrate into the book.
People with a sincere heart and a guilty conscience will eat them up if they suffer losses. It's better to be naive. Don't do anything to show that you are capable. If you are too smart and capable, you will become a fool. Don't boast about your comfortable life. It's useless to talk about being stupid. I just read the first chapter and I like this passage from Qiu Ci. The Ying River in the book is in Henan, also called Sha Ying River and Ying Shui in ancient times. The local history and tradition are rich! After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many reservoirs were built in the areas flowing through it. I really like the language expression in the book, very kind! It is a good and thought-provoking book with rich history and needs to be read carefully!
"The world is as it is. Those who are insignificant, those who allow themselves to become insignificant, have no place in this world." The first sentence pulls people in, with a sense of loneliness and openness. I originally thought that this book "Duowan" might be a difficult book to read, but it is beautiful and smooth, not difficult to understand. The characters in the book each have their own characteristics. Everyone rushes to the small town to strive for their distant dreams, but in the end they are left lost, a void that they have never had, a rush in prosperity, and no matter how hard they struggle, they are still empty-handed strangers with no home.

In my opinion, this article is comparable to Chen Zhongshi's Bailuyuan, or even surpasses it. Perhaps the narrative of this article is not as grand as that of Chen Zuo, and the characters are more ordinary and insignificant, but the emotions flowing between the words are more simple and sincere, and the imprint of the times and the corresponding reality and spiritual reflection of the underlying groups are more realistic. What I want to say is subtly presented between the lines. I can't say more, but in one sentence: it's the best work I've seen in the past twenty years.
This book takes the fate of four generations of a family as the main line and tells the struggle of ordinary people. It made me feel the difficulty and tenacity of life. The description of Ji Ci in the book is particularly vivid. She said, "Grasshopper Sutra, Grasshopper Sutra, grasshoppers are born in the soil." This sentence impressed me deeply and I felt her simplicity and love for life. This book is not only a history of common people's struggle, but also a history of women's growth, which is worth reading.
Such a good book deserves 10 points. It is a vast epic for the common people and will leave you with a lasting impression after reading it.
This is the best work I have seen in recent years, comparable to the ordinary world. The author should have a shadow of Persimmon. Without more than ten years of rural life experience, he would not be able to write such a work.
It's a great and in-depth article. I want to go back and read it a second time.
Super exciting! Vivid and detailed characters
Miss my grandma and grandma
So moved that I couldn't help but shed tears
The people born in the 50s and 60s experienced it personally, the people born in the 70s wiped their tears while reading it, and the people born in the 80s didn't know much about it. It's an era when a good book is afraid that no one will resonate with it. It's so scary.
Words from hometown, water from hometown, familiar relationships, a long song in life!
It is truly a fine novel that highly restores history. It seems realistic but has profound artistic conception. Generations after generations are like crops after crops, changing naturally. It can make people feel heavy after reading it.
It's really beautiful and well written.
Only good books can make people experience the charm of language!
When I saw this book, I thought of "Once Upon a Time in the Northeast, Working with Gangs". Life is really not easy! I hope our country will get better and better!
The only way to survive in life is to persevere, be strong, persevere, and persevere
