He lost his father when he was eight years old and his mother on the same day. Liu Meizi picked up a bowl of thin porridge that took his mother's life, put a kitchen knife on his neck in the clan ancestral hall, and protected his crying siblings behind him. After ten years of drinking ice, she used her youth and backbone to build a family, but she personally pushed her younger sister Mian Mian into the fire pit of marriage exchange. When the cotton bit her hand and said "you owe me forever", when the younger brother drove her out of the house with a broom to marry a bride, when she was called "a cruel slave" when delivering babies in the cowshed... The woman under the neem tree began to write her own rules of survival with her blood and life. This is not a house fight between sisters, but a blood alliance and rebirth between two women who have been exploited by time and family ties in a desperate situation.
Recommended words: If "To Live" writes about the endurance of suffering, "The Story of Neem" cuts open the fangs of suffering - how it is first fed to you by your loved ones. A narrative like an iron plow, the epic of two women carved on the loess with blood and tears. When the elder sister exchanges marriages for the younger brother, and the younger sister jumps into the trap for the older sister, what we see is not a bloody act, but the precise devouring of female flesh and blood by an era. Neem and cotton, one is as biting and hard as neem, the other is as pliable and unyielding as cotton. What they completed in the strangulation of fate was a tragic and magnificent "parricide" and self-rescue. Read it, write a biography for the voiceless, and make the unrecorded existence deafening.
Reader comments
The scene in the nursing home is truly touching. The loneliness and desolation in the last journey of old age is written with sincerity and emotion, revealing the coldness of human nature! There are many loopholes in the book as a whole. For example, Xiaoshu said she was a girl at first and then said she was a boy! There was also a gold earring that was given to Sancheng and then later said to be sold to Sancheng's son and so on! There are many flaws, but the overall storyline is quite attractive! I have been waiting for the heroine to live a good life, but the heroine did not live a good life even before she died! It's very true. In real life, our parents, grandparents, including ourselves, don't we have such a life? But people are supported by faith, care and family affection. No matter how hard and tiring life is, they can still live happily!
Very nice.
It's too bitter, very bitter, really bitter.
It's been a very hard life.
This story tells a very real past, it was like that, it was so painful
The author writes so well, I love reading it. Thank you so much to the author.
