Fen's Wonderful Life

In the countryside in the 1990s, Xu Fen was like a weed transplanted into the cracks of stones. Married to Liu Jun, a primary school teacher, she entered a family that regarded her as an alien. Vicious parents-in-law, indifferent elder brothers and sisters-in-law, the ups and downs of life, first of all come from the same roof. The sympathetic looks of neighbors were a silent footnote to her suffering. And the heavier shackles come from the times. The iron fist of family planning hangs high. As a public official, Liu Jun carries the "ticking time bomb" of three children in his arms. He lives in the shadow of fear day and night - afraid that his children will be discovered, afraid that his job will be smashed, and afraid that the family will collapse in an instant. Between the harsh criticism from his husband's family and the pressure from the outside world, this timid and affectionate man was silently squeezed into the "sandwich layer" of the family, and eventually passed away in fear. The pillar of support fell, and everyone thought that Xu Fen, a weed, would wither. But she wiped away her tears and carried the whole sky alone with her thin shoulders. She not only has to fight poverty, but also stubbornly provides her children with education despite the secular prejudice that "daughters are useless". Her life is an epic story of struggling to stand up from the soil - from a frustrated daughter-in-law to an upright mother. She worked hard for half her life, in exchange for her children graduating from college, starting a family and starting a business, and finally won belated respect. She has not read many books, but she has become the greatest teacher in children's lives.
