Bean Sesame Tea

"Beans and Sesame Tea" is the fourth book in Yang Benfen's "Seeing Women" series. It is a precious historical song of common people. The book is divided into two parts: "Past Marriage" and "The Limits of Heartbreak." After telling about his mother ("Autumn Garden"), fellow villagers ("Driftwood"), and marriage ("My Fragrance"), the author focuses on the marriages of three women, Mrs. Qin, Xiangjun, and Donglian, and details the confusion and pain, choice and responsibility, courage and persistence of women in intimate relationships. Even if their fate is unfair, they will not give up on self-salvation. In addition, the author recalls the past events he experienced with his mother and brother, as well as the heart-breaking pain when the two closest relatives passed away. Although those small things like sesame beans are as small, fragile and fleeting as dewdrops, they measured the limit of a person's sadness at that moment.
