This book made me think of my friends around me who are struggling for life. The experiences of the characters in the book are real and touching. They are at the bottom, but they still have hope for life. Just like Grandma Wang, her tenacity and desire for freedom are admirable. The author's descriptions are so detailed that I feel like I can feel the emotions of the characters. This is not only a novel, but also a true portrayal of real life. I recommend it to everyone!
