In the 1970s, three women from inland cities, Fu Chunfang, Xu Fengru and Xi Lanhua, responded to the call of the times and came to the Ili Valley thousands of miles away from their hometown. By chance, they met here and became lifelong friends. In that barren era, we helped each other and stumbled forward.
The beautiful Ili River left behind the sweat of their youth and opened their respective splendid chapters. Some people marry ranch workers and have no fixed abode, some people become the fearful wives of small contractors, and some people make a living by weaving carpets behind the honor of becoming military dependents...
In half a century, from wife to mother to grandmother, at the crossroads of destiny, some people choose to return from the Ili Valley to Haidian to experience the scrolls of kings; some are involved in the business world on the Huangpu River to provide for their children; some are content with the status quo and live unchanged for decades, but can have freedom and vastness.
Her Ili River is their story and the memory of the times.
Reader comments
It writes the reality of that era without blindly selling the misfortune. The novel should not only reveal the social conditions but also have high-spirited hope, so as to give people a comfortable feeling. I especially hate those blind cripples whose spines have been broken because of society, which can only make people feel heavy.
This book is really well written, full of wisdom about life, and full of true feelings. It allowed me to be completely immersed in it and empathize with it when I read it. I also like many classic words in the article. For example, what Lin Yi said, treat relatives as outsiders and treat outsiders as relatives. I got the answer to the question that I have been depressed about at this stage! For another example, empathizing with others is not as practical as actually happening to yourself! As for Lu Liansheng, he lacked the love of his parents since he was a child. When he grew up, he desperately wanted to perform well. When his wife was pregnant and gave birth to a baby at home alone, he almost lost his life. I feel that this is on whom to blame, and I don't want to come back in the future. The young Lu Liansheng did nothing wrong when he was young. He took his wife and children away, but when he got older, he wanted to be filial to his parents and forced his wife to be filial. I was really angry when I saw this. , I don't stop you from being filial, but you can't do this to your wife. Wow, she has really suffered so much in her life. She is tired of spinning around the family like a top, but you still, oh, that's it. I like the character Lin Zai. I always feel that I have not found myself, but I don't have Lin Zai's courage and support to be myself. I hope I can find myself one day. Finally, I look forward to seeing more works from the author!
I read it in one sitting, the writing is very smooth, the different situations of the three families, and the story of the three women starting from their marriage unfold in Xinjiang, a desolate, empty and hopeful place.
The author's delicate words let me see the tenacity and gentleness of Chinese women. I hope that female friends who read this article can find their own way and be brave enough to be themselves, as the author said.
It's very interesting. Recommended. Highly recommended. Why doesn't anyone comment on such a beautiful novel?
Although "Her Ili River" is written about ordinary people, it also makes readers feel turbulent in their hearts after reading it. Yes, life has four seasons of warm sunshine and darkest moments. Small people also have a big world in their hearts. Live up to your life and bravely move forward to face everything life gives you. Life is about breaking through obstacles [Like]
The writing is really good, and it depicts the simple and hard-working women of that era.
Although I haven't seen much of it, I like it very much. Because my parents also went to Xinjiang like them. It was the same hardship as them, but their status was different. And I am the second generation from Xinjiang, and I have also experienced that kind of life. Keep reading to learn more about your parents' stories...
The rating is too low. I like this book very much. The author's writing is good and the storyline is touching. I personally think it is better than many published books. I will follow the author and look forward to more good works.
Let the people born in the 70s and 80s feel the same way. When women face suffering and impermanence, whether they are tired or helpless, they help each other to save each other. There are no ifs or assumptions in life. No matter what the road ahead is, we must grit our teeth and go on with tears.
The work shows the faces of three generations of women: the first generation, the daughter-in-law of many years becomes a mother-in-law. Whether it is Fu Chunfang's mother-in-law's patriarchal concept or Xu Fengru's mother-in-law taking away all the pensions, these are manifestations of unclear family boundaries. After their sons get married, they still believe that they have absolute control over the small family. However, they lack the courage and ability to expand their careers to the outside world, and their partiality in material distribution causes emotional rifts and makes the family a mess. The second generation of women shows more pioneering spirit. Whether it is the straightforward Fu Chunfang, the growing Xu Fengru, or the ingenious Xi Lanhua, they all dare to face their own difficulties and burst out with strong courage. They are like the sometimes turbulent and sometimes calm Ili River that nourishes the small family and their own souls. They see the mountains, the water, and themselves. Women who grow up in difficult situations are more calm, more resilient, and more admirable. Third-generation women such as Lin Yi, Lin Zai, etc. Have received education in new ideas, become more independent, can be themselves, and tend to pursue equality in their views on marriage and career. Three generations of women are marked by different eras, but they are still alive. Thanks to the author for his excellent work, like it👍🏻
I really don't understand why such a beautiful book has such a low rating? The rating should be at least 9 points to be worthy of such a good-looking novel. I recommend it!
Tomato reviews are relatively early every time. In fact, we should be allowed to listen to a few more chapters, and then our reviews will be more targeted. I have already listened to three medium-length novels, and this opening chapter is very attractive. If we are allowed to listen to a dozen more chapters, our reviews may be more accurate and
The three generations have different life backgrounds and experiences, but their attitudes toward life, work, and relationships are consistent. They have all emerged from cocoons after going through trials, and can give readers a lot of inspiration. The writing is very good, and some sentences are profound and connotative.
The author has a profound writing skills, and I was filled with emotions after reading it. Three women with different personalities met by fate, and gradually got along with each other and became like sisters. People must be responsible for their own choices. In fact, no one knows the outcome until the end.
This novel is very well written. It looks like it was written by someone who has a lot of writing skills. The whole writing is transparent, coherent and not laggy. The wording is also very precise and appropriate, and it is beautiful. I usually rarely comment on novels, but I couldn't help but give this novel a review.
Down-to-earth, clear storyline
A good book worth reading [Like]
Pretty good and rich in content
I don't know if the story is the author's true experience, but I am really moved by the friendship between these three women who have helped each other for forty years. Not family, but better than family.
Well written, so beautiful
The characters are three-dimensional and the plot is full. A very period piece. Recommended reading!
The content is substantial, the words are spoken fluently, and it is very pleasant to listen to. I will give it a five-star rating.
This novel has a sense of the times. It is a pyrotechnic novel about three generations of women surviving, running a family, raising children, and escaping from poverty. It is intriguing, touching, and a great book!
I was attracted as soon as I read the beginning. The writing is good and the organization is clear. I can't bear to put it down [Like][Like]
Each generation has its own energy, and each generation has its own way of living. Living the present well is the happiest thing!
I like Teacher Xu, and I like each of them again. I have found myself and found myself.
I can't stop at all, it's so exciting
Highly recommended, this book is very good
Joy in hardship, perseverance, a role model for women
It's so beautiful, it feels like you're actually there
