The Silent Resistance of the Growth Rings on the Yellow Earth

In 1980, she was born in a Henan mountain village on the banks of the Yellow River that favored sons over daughters. Her mother was fierce but miserable, and her father was a drunkard and lazy. Her childhood was filled with beatings, scolding and hunger. When she was five years old, her younger sister was sent away, leaving her as her parents' punching bag. The obscene touching on the rooftop late at night has become a nightmare that has been sealed to this day... After barely finishing junior high school, she ran away to study abroad, met a seemingly gentle husband, and thought she could escape her fate. But she fell into another violence - marriage became a cage of machismo. She silently endured verbal violence and indifference, and even lost her unborn child. She looked at her children and told herself over and over again that she would get through it. But the scars of childhood and marriage have already been engraved in the bone marrow. Can she still believe that she deserves a better life?
