In the freezing cold wind of the late 1980s, 18-year-old Shandong girl Lin Xiuying married away to Lingnantun in the Songnen Plain of Northeast China, thinking that the "kind family" described by the matchmaker would pave the way for her to make a living. Instead, she plunged headlong into the ice cave of feudal ideology and domestic violence. Her husband, Wang Laowen, regarded her as a tool to "give birth to sons" and was accused of giving birth to three daughters, "Da Ya", "Pan Di" and "the wrong child". She was subjected to the harsh words of her mother-in-law Zhao Dajiao and the contempt of her neighbors. Fists and insults became a daily routine, and "living worse than a dog" was her dignity that was trampled on.
She endured the humiliation and served her mother-in-law on the sick bed, and pulled her daughter who grew up in fear, but what she got was that her husband openly supported her mistress Li Yanhong. Even when her mother-in-law passed away, she was chased by her husband with a red stove hook because of the accusation of "not observing filial piety". When the mistress came into the house, her daughters were also looked down upon and abused. The woman who had been stepped into the mud finally shouted "divorce" - amidst the uproar in the isolated mountain village and the threat of her husband "drag you to death", she hugged her two daughters tightly on a snowy night and ran away resolutely.
From a submissive lamb to a she-wolf fighting back in desperate circumstances, Lin Xiuying's escape path is full of unknown dangers: the coldness of the city, the pursuit of her ex-husband, and the shadow of the feudal mountain that never dissipates. This is a history of the suffering of rural women in Northeast China written with tears. Under the double yoke of family planning and patriarchal preference, how maternal love tears through the darkness and how cowardice is tempered into steel. Let's see if her resistance, which breaks out in the extreme depression, can open a glimmer of humanity and life for herself and her daughters.
Reader comments
The texture is clear: the words are wonderful: easy to read and understand: it reflects the feudal thoughts of a generation that favors boys over girls: the heroine is really having a hard time: being beaten and scolded every day is so cruel
No chance of success: I don't know when I will succeed.
The description is delicate and deeply captures the reader's heart.
Women in the past were so pitiful
The writing is so real and beautiful, keep it up
It was not easy for women in those days
It's so beautiful, it made me cry to death. That era was simply an era of oppression and persecution of women.
It was so painful (╥╥) and I was heart-wrenching to read it. I hope there is no real incident, it's too cruel 😭
One star will be deducted for being tortured too much, but the hero who faces suffering will be given full stars if he can wait until he is liberated.
I like reading books like this
It's thrilling to hear, it's so difficult to be a heroine.
It's a very good novel. I felt depressed while reading it. Fortunately, the ending is quite good.
The story is true and the details are vividly described. I hope the heroine can fight back
Very good and engaging.
This is very similar to what my mother said about that era, a time when there was no knowledge and no vulgar culture. Feudal society caused women to suffer too many grievances.
The storyline is exciting and ups and downs, why is the rating so low? Give me five⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
