The East-West Rivalry of the 1980s

This novel has been completely reworked and rewritten! The focus is on everyday family life.

Reader's Guide:

The early chapters focus on the characters' growing-up years. From the middle onward, the story focuses on married life and the daily grind. There are many characters, with a touch of ensemble-cast storytelling.

The first 50 chapters follow two timelines. The pacing slows down in the middle and later sections.

Everyone is ordinary, a grain of sand swept along by the tides of the times. There are no dizzying heights, just laughter and tears, and the gentle flow of everyday life.

Official blurb:

Either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east. Which way will the wind blow today?

When the east wind blows, Meng Jiangchuan grows up lonely and destitute, while Tan Yuzhu breezes her way into college.

When the west wind blows, the two marry. What sparks will fly as they navigate the daily grind together?

Content note: This is set in the 1980s. There is no transmigration, transmigration into a book, rebirth, golden finger, System, storage space, or anything like that.

(P.S. If the female lead's surname is Pan, that's just a typo from a slip of the keyboard...)
