Introduction to the work
This is a coming-of-age documentary saturated with blood, tears and glimmers of light, an epic of life that blooms alone in a desperate situation.
The story takes the perspective of a girl born in the loess ravines of the northwest, uncovering the scars of her original family. In a childhood that lacked love, the pain of losing her mother, and the shadow of violence, she embraced the responsibility to her sister and used desperate courage to break out of the suffocating family cage.
From the campus in Qingdao to the construction site in Yantai, to the late-night restaurants and streets under the scorching sun in Beijing, the novel details her struggle history for more than ten years. In order to save her seriously ill sister, she traveled to Beijing alone, from Tiananmen Square in the early morning to working in the kitchen late at night, saving every penny she could with her own flesh and blood. With 13 years of hard work and perseverance, she built her foundation in the field of mechanical and electrical construction, and tried to cross-border transformation to break class barriers.
The book is intertwined with complex workplace games, the test of human nature, and the mutual redemption between women where blood is thicker than water. She was once the little girl shivering in the strong wind, but with her stubborn vitality like loess wildflowers, she finally gathered the scattered family ties and turned suffering into strength.
This is not only a woman's counterattack, but also an affectionate hymn to tenacity, redemption and family love. It tells the world: Even if fate crushes you, as long as your roots are deeply rooted, you can live your own light in the fireworks of the world.
