A hundred years of wind and rain, a fire, half a lifetime of darkness and eyesight. Although she has not seen this human world, the human world still looks like her. This is a story based on a true story.
In 1921, in a family of goldsmiths in Shijiazhuang, a baby girl with a cicada-shaped birthmark on her foot was born in the morning light of the approaching war. Her father melted gold to cast a cicada and named it "Chengyu", hoping that her heart would be as clear as jade. However, this cherishment became the prelude to her life's suffering - her mother thought she was a "loser", her home was burned to the ground in war, and her father died tragically on the bayonet. For a bag of life-saving white flour, she was married to a lame husband by her mother at the age of 13; and for a bag of life-saving rice, she was remarried to an ugly poor man. At the age of 30, she fell completely into eternal darkness.
But darkness never swallowed her light...
Reader comments
The author's words are rigorous and the description is sincere and not false. It seems that Heisuke's narration is straightforward, but it is very thorough. Depressed emotions are attached to the bleak growth rings, displayed frame by frame with delicate brushstrokes. The negative effects after reading are in sharp contrast to the vividness of current life.
It is a very thoughtful and readable work.
It was well written, and it made me cry and it made me see the desire for knowledge and the fighting spirit of self-improvement of a generation of women. I am grateful that she has an enlightened father who holds a guiding light for her.
I wanted to cry after reading it, I feel so distressed, but it is very true. Women can be daughters, sisters, mothers, and even supermen. However, women can also be despised and ignored, like dispensable cloth, and the epitome of feudal society. Thank you for the new China that our ancestors bought with their blood. Country, I am also grateful to the unknown heroes who have contributed to the motherland, and to the author for writing a simple but touching and vivid story, which allows us to learn to see the light in hardship, smell the spring breeze, and be like a cicada at any time, emerging from the cocoon and singing summer!
Super real, super exciting.
The author's writing is meticulous and the plot is gripping. Although the suffering life has not erased Chengyu's tenacity, kindness and transparency. Awaiting continued updates from the author.

Five-star praise, recommended to watch and listen. It really describes the suffering of that era.
Ok ok ok
Very beautiful, I feel particularly sorry for Brother Zhao
Real, emotional
Hard times, hard-working people
Life is moving towards happiness step by step, and people are becoming clearer.
The content of this book is very good. It describes the hard work and kindness of Chinese rural people and it deeply moved me. I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you to the author🙏🏻
China is a troubled country in modern times, and it is so difficult for women to grow up!
The writing is great, the writing style is delicate, the author will update soon!
It seems to be a modern Chinese history, and it is so well written. How old is the author this year? It feels like it must be at least seventy! The historical details are written so thoroughly that it feels very chronological.
Delicate emotions, beautiful writing, very beautiful
This chapter made me cry
It's a pity that she is not with the person she likes.
Why does the review take so long?
Finally found a book that is better than the time travel drama
