Deep in the vast plains of eastern Henan lies the unremarkable village of Weizhuang, home to a few hundred people. Family affection, romance, friendship, and infidelity intertwine as all sorts of characters take the stage. Across several decades and hundreds of miles, warmth is mixed with calculation, and neighbors are bound to deceive one another. One great or small event after another weaves together the births, lives, illnesses, and deaths of ordinary people as they come and go, through joy and sorrow.
The warmth of everyday life fills every page, gently soothing the hearts of ordinary people.
