In 1985, heavy rains were approaching, and in the third year after her husband disappeared, Lin Xiu'e guarded three hungry cubs, facing depleted farmland and eager creditors. In that era when honor was more important than life, in order to exchange for a morsel of food to survive and to get her daughter with a high fever into the hospital, she took the initiative to knock on the door of the notorious bachelor...
From then on, she was a "rotten" shoe in the eyes of the whole village, and a shame that the children did not dare to recognize. The spittle of a tongue-tied woman can drown people, and the dislike of relatives can break bones, but Lin Xiu'e never looked back. This is a tragic song about motherhood voluntarily sinking in order to support the future in a desperate situation. When morality and hunger collide, she is both a sinner and the only savior.
The better, the drier, the better. Not bad.
