    The author based this novel on their own life, using their real diary entries. It's not a rural story, and the author didn't categorize it during the writing process; it's a coming-of-age, school-themed novel. The female protagonist lived in a family that favored sons over daughters. During junior high school, she suffered from severe depression due to unwarranted beatings and even abuse from her mother. However, limited by her social status, she couldn't escape the control of her family of origin, struggling for half her life in a quagmire of suffering. The novel depicts the youth, school life, and everyday moments of the 1990s, capturing the anxieties and struggles of growing up.
