[Period] [Northeast China] [Not a wish-fulfillment story] [No transmigration] [No golden finger]
The black soil of Northeast China has nurtured generation after generation of Northeasterners.
Zhang Haihe was born into an ordinary working-class family.
On the day he was born, his grandmother and father dug a new grave, exhumed a young woman who had been buried just over ten days earlier, and arranged a ghost marriage between her and his uncle.
After that, his grandmother took her own life, his mother miscarried, and his grandfather died in an accident. His life was turned upside down.
He loved listening to his father tell stories about his great-great-grandfather fighting the Japanese invaders, and from childhood he carried a deep desire to resist Japan.
Amid the tides of the 1980s, Zhang Haihe, his family, and his friends were but specks of dust swept along by the times, yet they all strove to make their lives count.
The many changes in life and upheavals in his family helped him grow and taught him ever more deeply to cherish what he had.
Growing up comes at a price, and life is always full of regrets...
This book is quite interesting to read, and at the same time it shows the true feelings of the world.
