In the cold winter of 1968, Lin Nuanyang, a baby girl who was abandoned in a cornfield, was adopted by a lonely old man with poor background. Eight years later, her adoptive mother died of illness, and she was forced to live with her mean uncle and aunt, struggling to survive in a woodshed and hunger. While secretly digging sweet potatoes, she ran into the arms of border guard officer Lu Weijiang. The food stamps and the note "Knowledge changes destiny" he left behind became the first glimmer of light in her dark life.
From then on, the fates of orphans and soldiers were intertwined in turbulent times. She relied on her photographic talent and knowledge of herbal medicine to go from a temporary farm worker to medical school; he guarded the country on the border and sent letters across mountains and rivers. The storms of the times tried to break them up, and scrutiny, separation, and tests of life and death followed one after another, but they always struggled to grow on their respective battlefields.
This is a growth epic about a tough woman, a protective love across classes, and a story about a generation looking for light in the tide of the times. When the spring breeze of reform and opening up came, she founded a pharmaceutical factory to benefit the village, and he adhered to his mission as a soldier. The two finally walked through the wind and rain hand in hand, and harvested their own sunshine in the depths of the years.
Reader comments
The writing style is good, but the time is a bit confusing and inconsistent with the facts, but fictional writing can be wild and unrestrained. Going to college at the age of ten is awesome.
This little girl's life experience is too pitiful. Her parents were irresponsible in giving birth to her, and her mother-in-law had good intentions but was in poor health. If he could stay with her for a few more years, he wouldn't be bullied by that uncle's family. Fortunately, he would be taken in by the army farm, but he would have to be sucked by his aunt's family. Hopefully, she can change her destiny with her own efforts and finally escape from that vampire family.
It's super beautiful. The story brings readers to that era. The writing is real and smooth. It's a very good book. It's worth recommending and giving it five stars.
The character has a perseverant personality, has a positive outlook on life, has great love, and does not get hung up on trivial matters~
The writing is smooth and the story is very good~~
It's so beautiful, it feels like you're actually there
Well written and very true.
Good and worth buying
Good book, it attracted me as soon as I read it
It was so painful when I was a kid. I don't know if there will be a turning point later.
I like this book very much. The character of the heroine is very full. The heroine did not bow to fate, but constantly improved herself. She also received help from many people and became the best version of herself.
Very nice! Recommended to you!
This complex is an old topic when I was studying. How many girls dreamed that their husbands were soldiers who fought back? There were so many stories lingering in their hearts.
