The Weight of the Earth

The author vividly depicts the hardships of life in the 1960s and 70s, creating a scene that feels like a real-life reenactment. The author also profoundly expresses the ugliness of human nature and the forbearance of kindness. This is not mere imagination or fabrication; it is one of the few online novels today that is worth reading carefully.

I was born in the 1960s, and I watched until the end with tears in my eyes. Heaven and earth nurtured a great mother and a group of sensible daughters. Seeing them reminded me of my own mother. I hope that everything will go well for them in the future, and that they will be happy and healthy.

The novel is truly well-written, accurately depicting the arduous journey of the kind-hearted Ronghua from bitterness to sweetness, as well as the difficult life of the older generation of simple rural women. Our parents, facing the loess soil with their backs to the sky, worked from sunrise to sunset, toiling hard on the land of Qilu, barely making ends meet, struggling to survive.

The depiction of the hardships of life in the countryside is incredibly vivid and realistic. I myself, in the early 1980s, also picked up the sweet potatoes and soybeans that had fallen behind – rural life was so tough! The portrayal of Ronghua, this great and simple rural mother, is exquisite; ordinary yet extraordinary, persistent and kind, illiterate yet full of wisdom, her love for her…

I read it in one go, it was clean and concise. The story, though lacking dramatic twists and turns, is captivating and strikes a chord deep within the reader. Ronghua's life was fraught with hardship, even suffering, but her character influenced the children's lives. In that era, without such strong mental fortitude, survival would have been impossible. Kudos to the author!
