A deep old house, half of the Republic of China was ups and downs.
From the beginning of the troubled times when the mountains and rivers were swaying to the end of the years when fireworks were scattered, every brick and tile in the hometown witnessed the ups and downs of a family, and also concealed the joys and sorrows of a generation.
The current situation is turbulent, wars continue, and the once stable family is swept away by the torrent of the times. The children in the family went their separate ways, some stuck to their homeland, their old home and their original aspirations; some went to other places to survive in troubled times; some went for love, but in the end they only had a once-in-a-lifetime separation.
The righteousness of family and country is intertwined with the love of children, and personal destiny fluctuates with the times. There are no cool writing routines that defy the odds, but only write about the struggles, perseverance, regrets and tenderness of ordinary people in the old days. They protect their family ties in the wind and rain, understand their concerns in parting, and keep the stability in their hearts in troubled times.
As time goes by, old friends are separated, and the grass and trees in the courtyard remain the same. Those obsessions, regrets and tenderness hidden in the hometown eventually turned into the most real human fireworks in the context of the times.
The 724,000-word book is completely completed, with no interruptions or unfinished chapters. It is an immersive reading of a long story about family, country, joys and sorrows in the troubled times of the Republic of China.
