Synopsis

[Era + Autobiography + Countryside + Personal Growth] A river is his root; a pen is his dream. Studying, playing sports, joining the army, coaching, wandering... The young people on the banks of the Fuyang River stumbled forward in the folds of the times. My name is Tian Yongjie. My hometown is in the countryside beside the Fuyang River. I love literature and dream of becoming a writer. In 1961, I had just finished one year of high school and was sent to the countryside, thus ending my study career. Not long after returning home, I couldn't eat enough, so I had to go to Wuzhou, Guangxi to seek refuge with my aunt, hoping to find a way out, but failed, and finally returned home penniless. There was a movement going on in the village, and I took an active part in it and got the chance to serve as a soldier. I continued to develop my literary and artistic talents in the army. After demobilization, I returned to the village to work as a substitute teacher and promoted the establishment of a cultural room. Because of his literary and artistic talents, he was seconded to the county cultural center and was responsible for cultural work. At the same time, literary creation officially began. During this period, I had an emotional entanglement with a female reporter named Shi Guixiang. When I discovered that Guixiang was in contact with her love rival Kong Laoer, misunderstandings and conflicts arose, causing the relationship between the two to become estranged. Later, I entered the society and became a salesman, working in various jobs. During this period, I met Xiao Lijie, a young literature lover. Her persistence and sincerity in literature moved me, and the two of them had new emotional twists and turns. Through delicate brushstrokes, the book depicts the details and emotional entanglements of rural and urban life, my inner struggle and growth, and my personal destiny and responsibility in social changes. It shows the author's pursuit of literature and his struggle under emotional and survival pressure. It reflects the individual's dilemma and efforts in the context of the times. It is an excellent work focusing on social changes and personal emotions.
