A realistic story set in the modern era.
This isn’t some System-powered wish-fulfillment story. It’s a modern history of my family, based on my own family, with real-life inspirations for the characters. I’ve tried to make it as authentic as possible. Set in the 1990s, it portrays people striving to better themselves and reach for their ambitions. The characters are all ordinary people, not legendary heroes. Even living an ordinary life well is no easy feat. Looking back, we’re all just passing through this world.
Through Wu Qingru’s devotion to the land and Wu Zhu’s departure from home, the characters face the realities of life, suffer painful realizations again and again, awaken, and seek redemption. This is a soulful story of rural life.
