My Era of Six Marriages

A marriage history that defied belief, and a turbulent chronicle of rises and falls.

In 1971, Li Liming was born in an unremarkable village in southern Zhejiang. He stood no more than 1.6 meters tall and had an ordinary appearance, yet over the next thirty years he married six different women.

From Lu Yingying of Guizhou to Wang Meiling of Wenzhou, from Li Meifeng of Sichuan to Wu Ying of Jinhua, from Li Xiaoyan of Henan to Ran Fenfen of Yiwu... Each marriage marked a turning point in his fate. Some were fiery, others gentle; some were poor, others wealthy. Like six mirrors, they reflected every facet of Li Liming's struggle from the bottom of society to the ups and downs of the business world, while together piecing together a vivid portrait of the times across three decades of reform and opening up.

This is more than six tangled stories of love and hate. It is the fierce struggle of a little man putting all his strength into fighting poverty, prejudice, fate, and even his own desires. When the bells ring for his sixth marriage, Li Liming stands at the peak of his life and looks back. He sees the rolling world of mortals, as well as the road he traveled to get there and the way home.
