Empty Nest Marriage: Three Generations of Women

Three generations of women, more than half a century, the same dilemma, three breakthroughs. Yao Bath Flower was born in the 1930s. She became a widow right after she passed away, and despite being called a "kefu", she carried her posthumous child on her back and made a living in the fields. Tears were swallowed into the gruel, and the days moved forward inch by inch - it was not that she was not suffering, but she just refused to fall. Hu Ya was born in the 1950s. She tried her best to marry an educated youth who had returned to her hometown, but ended up becoming a "vulgar country woman" in the eyes of her husband. She had quarrels and arguments, and finally began to learn and work amidst her husband's indifference, living like a tree that did not need to be climbed. Hu Jing was born in the 1970s. Her husband went into business, and she took care of the family alone for ten years. No crying, no resistance, just quietly forging armor while waiting for the door late at night - not accepting fate, but taking responsibility soberly. They are grandmothers, mothers, and daughters. They face each other across the river of time and share the same identity: a woman who supports the whole life alone in marriage. This is not a sad story, but the wisdom that breaks the situation. When Yao Shuhua straightened her back in the corner of the ancestral hall, when Hu Ya found her place in the gap in the city, when Hu Jing cultivated an independent soul in the long wait - they were all answering: What is a home without mutual understanding and mutual support in marriage? The answer is: Make yourself your home. This book deeply depicts the social reality of China's "empty nest families" and is written for all women who feel lonely in their marriages and move forward alone in the times. Not to make you cry, but to let you see: those who cannot defeat us will eventually be redefined by us. Empty nest is not a destination, perseverance is.
