   This author is truly amazing; he portrayed that era with such vividness, sadness, and joy. It's a pity that such a good book isn't widely read. The first book, "The Exchange Marriage," set in the 1960s, begins with the exchange of three women... Li Mei has a happy family; her parents fought in the war against Japan and are the happiest and wisest couple in the entire story. Li Mei is abandoned by her husband because she cannot support herself and becomes an old maid. To avoid worrying her parents, she devises an exchange marriage plan. Dingxiang endured the most hard work and the most beatings from a young age. Her family used to be landlords, but they were frequently criticized and denounced, so no girl could marry her lazy brother. Therefore, they had to exchange their sister for a husband. Jia Hui was the ugliest woman, and no one wanted her. Her honest older brother was often bullied by his sister-in-law, so no one wanted to marry him either. Thus, the three women were exchanged for a husband… Dingxiang married into Li Mei's family and lived a happy life. Jia Hui married Dingxiang's brother and suffered domestic violence. Fortunately, she was strong and resilient, met a benefactor, and carved out a successful life for herself, becoming one of the most successful female entrepreneurs. Li Mei married Jia Hui's brother and lived a simple life. She became a widow in her later years and met her true love, seven years her junior. Their love story is the most tear-jerking part of the entire story. Because of their eldest son's opposition, they couldn't be together, a tragic situation. Finally, they met again in their old age.

    No romance, farming/farming novel. My first book just came out. It's about farming, picking mushrooms, gathering wild vegetables and herbs, cooking, running a business and a farm, and hilarious daily life of dealing with awful relatives. It's really good!!! If you don't like it, come and hit me! This is my second pure farming/farming novel!
