Snowflakes Are Flying

Introduction to "Flying Snowflakes" This book is set in rural China in the early 1990s, and slowly unfolds around the growth and education path of rural children such as He Tianrui and Zhang Yinghua. From the quiet sprouting of ignorant emotions in junior high school, through the separation after the high school entrance examination, the different life on the technical secondary school campus, until the major life choices faced at graduation, this main line connects the trajectory of youth's struggle and the ups and downs of emotions. There are many parallel branches in the book, such as the tragic love story between Chen Shejiao and Dang Xuemei, the marriage between Tang Zhanying and Dang Xuemei, and He Jianghong and He Xiaohui. These rural emotional stories add rich color to the novel. In addition, rural customs, family planning, social education movements, and other social events serve as sub-lines to comprehensively outline the complete style of rural society of that era. The story begins on a snowy day after the Lantern Festival. The tranquility of a small northern village and the daily current situation of rural people are slowly unfolded in the book. The life experiences of He Tianrui, Zhang Yinghua, Gong Yaling, Wu Xiaoxia, Zhu Xiaolin and other characters are like a delicate picture scroll, completely showing their youthful struggles and emotional changes. The stories of Chen Shejiao, Dang Xuemei, Tang Zhanying and many other characters form a key part of the emotional entanglement of the novel. Their tenacity, kindness, ardent love for life and firm hope for the future in difficult situations are all moving. At the same time, the novel profoundly reflects the significant differences between rural and urban life during the period of social transformation, as well as people's living conditions in different social environments.
