It was five o'clock in the morning on October 17 of the lunar calendar in 1980.
I was born on an old rural road leading to the county town in Henan.
My mother looked at me, smiled, and then closed her eyes.
Everyone thought she was dead.
She survived, but she only lived for three years.
When I was three years old, my mother passed away.
My dad left me with my grandparents and went to Beijing.
People in the village said that I was a "motherless girl".
There was only one aunt, one year older than me, who grew up with me.
This is my life starting halfway.
It is also a memory shared by countless rural children of that era.

Author, why are you so good at writing? I cried from 10 o'clock to now, and the tears haven't stopped. I really want to cry. The protagonist's father went out to work, and he cried like me in the back. It reminded me of when I was a child, and the tears kept flowing [crying][crying][crying]
Why do I always have tears in my eyes
It was written with great emotion, and I could even see the tears.
Down-to-earth and with a strong sense of substitution. Very lifelike.
The sincerity is very touching! The simplicity of the writing is unforgettable
Very good article, worth reading!
The description is very realistic and the plot is very attractive
The description is delicate and makes people feel like they are back to the real life in the countryside in the 1980s.
Very well written and touching
True feelings, well written
Exactly the same experience as mine, seems to be telling me about myself
It's very true. What have you done with your grandma's family? If you had treated your daughter-in-law better, would your grandson be without a mother?
I feel like there are so few people reading it, I hope the author can keep updating [sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart]
The atmosphere of the era is strong and real, and the description of characters and things conforms to the characteristics of the times.
Very suitable for rural life after 1970s and 1980s
It is down-to-earth and the author's delicate writing style tells the story of a rural child in that era when his parents were not around. It is quite touching.
