More than forty years have passed since reform and opening-up. What lies ahead for the new generation of farmers? They were once called “Uncle Farmer,” then “Farmer Brother,” then “Farmer Big Brother,” then “migrant workers,” and now the fashionable insult is “stinking farmer.”
“You’re so dirty and smelly. How can you take the subway or the bus?” That was something said in a major Chinese city. It was only one person’s opinion, but it also reflects how people’s living standards have risen across the board with the development of nature, technology, and the economy. Where does that leave the new generation of farmers amid this transformation?
The countryside is full of treasures. You have your own land and your own house, and you work from sunrise to sunset. Roads lead to the cities, cars are cheap, and getting to the county seat and back is easy. Seventy-five years ago, these were things farmers could never have dreamed of. Our great leaders and predecessors made them happen. They truly did. They gave us farmers a new home, a new destiny, and a whole new life...
The protagonist, Ye Fan, is one of the new generation of farmers. Together with his family, he will write the story of an ordinary life amid this transformation.
The content is exciting, the characters are vividly drawn, and it also has certain significance in real society. It is a rare good work. Come on, author!
Different eras create different lives. How many people remember that bygone era. The simple portrayal makes people truly understand the difficulty of life. It is a very good book, five-star recommendation!
I like Xiaofan very much. This is a story about the journey of the Chinese working people from the past.
The true portrayal of a small person in a big era is impressive.
The work has a sense of age and the writing is brilliant. The words between the lines are full of ordinary, yet extraordinary. Ye Fan, a new farmer, seems ordinary, but he is working hard to rewrite the life he thought was ordinary. Keep reading!
The author sees the big from the small and uses his sharp writing skills to depict some of the plight of farmers in the new era. At the same time, he also reveals the weaknesses of human nature objectively and critically. I applaud this positive energy and give a heartfelt thumbs up.
At that time, there was a lack of food and clothing, but people's hearts were warm. Keep up the good work, author [laughing] The article is very good
The author is very thoughtful and writes brilliantly. With the immersive feeling of period literature, perhaps those who have experienced it personally can better understand the indescribable "anticipation, numbness." The kind of women who scolded the whole village for a trivial matter are really "shrews." How many people know the truth behind this.
Fortunately, there are not many words, otherwise I might have stayed up all night tonight without even realizing it! Tell the truth and write 🉐very real! The era of my father's generation, the era of early reform, and the era of late opening up, all the scenes in my mind came to mind when I listened to the reading. While lamenting the changes of the times, I am also concerned about Ye Fan's challenges and opportunities in social changes. There are many dramatic moments in the plain narrative. Great article!
What are three correct views? What is feeling? What are values? What is a new rural area? What is new agriculture? What are new farmers? There are answers, plots, highlights, exciting stories, depth, and thoughts! A good novel that is closest to reality, highly recommended!
