A century-old family and country have experienced ups and downs.
In 1900, the Gengzi country was undergoing a coup, and the war was raging. Deep in Pingjiang Road, Suzhou, the Lin family, a scholarly family, welcomed the birth of a pair of twins. They never expected that this cry would not only start the story of a family, but also kick off the great changes in China in the 20th century.
From the chaotic times of the late Qing Dynasty to the turmoil of the Republic of China, from the war of resistance against Japan to the isolation of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, from the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution to the reform and opening up, the four generations of the Lin family are like nails, stuck to the torrent of the times. They are literati, military officers, doctors, workers, and trendsetters in business.
This is a century-old history of struggle of Chinese families. In the book, you will see three generations of a family committing themselves to the country when the mountains and rivers were broken, lovingly watching when the flesh and blood were separated, and persevering and reborn in the turmoil of the times.
Seeing a big country from a small family, see how the Lin family has survived hundreds of years of ups and downs, protecting the blood-connected family, and interpreting the eternal truth of the Chinese people's "guarding the family is to protect the country."
