In the cold winter of 1990, a cry as thin as a cat's meow woke up the small northern village of Chenjia'ao. The midwife's assertion that the old wheat was "difficult to feed" cast a shadow over the joy of the poor farmer's new baby. Father Chen Laosan, a stubborn man facing the loess, used the tenacity of the earth and the cunning humor of a farmer to straighten this "weak seedling".
This is an epic of the struggle of "mud-legged people" spanning thirty years.
Volume 1: Weeds on the Field Ridge (1990-2008)** See how old wheat grew wildly in the 1990s when material was scarce! He stole sweet potatoes and was chased away by dogs, exploded latrines with earthen rockets, caught cicada monkeys to earn tuition fees... In the fragrance of the soil and the embarrassment of life, in his father's belief that "a crooked seedling must be supported" and in his mother's silent tenacity, he stumbled but always looked forward to the sun. In the end, he became the county's number one scholar, carrying the crumpled tuition collected by the villagers, and ignorantly broke into the bustling city.
Volume 2: The First Turn of the Gears (2008-2013)** College is no idyll. The cash-strapped Chen Xiaomai made a miscalculation in the cafeteria, delivered takeout and accidentally broke into the girls' bathroom, and a series of embarrassing and hilarious stories. Embarrassment and struggle fly together, tears and laughter intermingle. After graduation, I entered the society, worked hard at the grassroots level, saw people's hearts, encountered injustice, and gained close friends and ignorant love. After five years of hard work, he learned to use the wisdom grown in wheat fields to find a foothold among the gears of the city.
Volume 3: Deep Plowing (2013-2030)** Entering the government department, Chen Xiaomai took root in the institutional jungle with the thickness of soil. He experiences the collision between ideal and reality, and encounters the battle between temptation and principle.
Very nice!
