After going through the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation... Reform and opening up..., Seeing relatives die, going through four marriages, experiencing life and death, experiencing criticism and struggle, confiscation of homes, being humiliated, having children separated from two countries, forced demolition, deforestation...

It's really beautiful and worth reading.
The author's writing is really good
This book reminded me of "Red Sorghum" and "White Deer Plain", which are also stories about small people in a big era. Zaohua's life has gone through ups and downs, and her perseverance is admirable. This reminds me of my own life. When encountering difficulties, I should not give up like Zaohua and strive to pursue my own happiness. Looking forward to the following story, I hope Zaohua can have a happy ending.
Good book. The detailed and vivid, historical, humane and warm small society is influenced by the big era. How can ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy the progress of the times...
