Bitter Soup

This is a question written by a daughter for her mother, and it is also a generation's difficult attempt to understand the previous generation. "Bitter Soup" runs through a core image throughout the book - bitterness. My mother grew up soaking in bitter water and became a habit of drinking bitter water. Finally, she made herself into a bowl of bitter soup and served it to her closest relatives. It's not that she doesn't want to give sweets, it's that she doesn't know what sweets feel like. With sharp and compassionate writing, the novel opens up the lives of lower-class women in China who have been crushed by fate, and asks the question that hits people's hearts: How can a person who has never been loved learn to love? When love can only be presented in a bitter way, what should the drinker do? If you also grew up in a complicated family relationship, if you have ever hated and hurt your loved ones, this book will let you see yourself - see the unspeakable complexity, see the looming understanding at the end of the bitter water.
