Yu Banwen and Yu Xiaoli are both children from the countryside, born in the early 1970s. The joys and sorrows of their growing-up years offer an authentic portrait of the customs and people of that era, as well as rural people's yearning for a better life. Much of the book is told in witty, humorous language, letting you witness the resilience and kindness of ordinary people at the very bottom of society.
Everyone lives the most ordinary life, working from sunrise to sunset.
May you and I face reality together, leave behind the void, live with both feet on the ground, and look forward to the future with sincerity.
