Reader comments
In the face of fate, everyone has to fight. Some people can win one or two, while some people fight to the death and have nothing. Bailu originally wanted to be able to send some money back home like others, but he didn't want to be starved for food. When he returned home one day, he was beaten and scolded by Bailu Granny. He felt guilty and scolded her, and fought back in shame. "My fields are good, but I can't repay the debt owed by my father." Under the eyes of everyone, Uncle Bailu finally couldn't bear the pressure of all kinds of emotions and tried to escape again. But Bailu's mother-in-law panicked, and she held on to Bailu and tried to persuade her. No matter how bad things were, the man who was the head of the family was so powerful that the family would collapse without the backbone. Bailu also showed a hopeful smile after seeing his eldest son's strong arms. As long as you and your son cultivate the fields well, your debts will be paid off and your life will get better day by day.
There are all kinds of lives in all kinds of societies, and people have to live their own lives.
The storyline of "Going Home" is real and vivid, making me feel like I am in that countryside. The author Hong Lingfei describes the details of rural life very delicately, which made me feel the tranquility and beauty of the countryside. The image of Uncle Bailu is very profound, making people feel both sympathy and emotion. This book is worth reading and I recommend it to you.
