This is a novel about "not telling", not saying you like it, not saying waiting, not saying whether it is worth it. But those unsaid words are hidden in candy wrappers, in tin boxes, and in the beeps of telephone booths. Written to everyone who has waited. The bravest thing Lin Dong did in his life was not to repair the 2 million yuan imported equipment, or to save enough down payment to buy a house with a yard, but to say to Su Xiyue: "It's too late." He had waited for her for seven years. I have saved a hundred candy wrappers for seven years, and I have written one letter after another for seven years, but have not sent them out. He buried the chicken legs under the old locust tree, wrote her name all over the book, and hid himself as a mute person. Later he learned to say no. The people in this book are not very good at talking. But they do more than talk. But they are walking. Go forward. If you have ever filled a whole page with a person's name, if you have saved things that you are reluctant to throw away, if you have ever waited for someone - you will see yourself in this book. Someone asked Lin Dong if it was worth it. He said he didn't know. Han Ruoyu answered for him: "Whether it's worth it or not, you don't have the final say." When you close the book, you may think of someone, something, or a period of time that you can never get back. It doesn't matter. This book is written for you. Open it and look at it slowly.

Totally true. The story unfolds slowly between Sanbao Town in southeastern Yunnan and Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. Yun Kun, a young man from southern Yunnan, harbored the dream of flying out of the mountains. With perseverance, he grew from a poor boy to an optical teaching researcher at the Military Engineering College. Ning Xiang, who lives in the east of Nanjing, originally had a stable life in the city, but under the impact of the tide of the times, she experienced a turning point in her life when her household registration was tampered with. Two originally parallel life trajectories unexpectedly intersected at the foot of Purple Mountain. Their union is not only the mutual support of two individuals, but also the fusion of two lifestyles. Yun Kun carries the tenacity and perseverance of the red clay plateau, while Ning Xiang possesses the gentleness and resilience of the Jiangnan water town. In an era when supplies were scarce, they helped each other, using reed chickens, loofah vines and homemade kaleidoscopes to turn their poor days into poetry. The novel reflects the social changes in China from the Anti-Japanese War to the early stage of reform and opening up through the ups and downs of the fortunes of two families and two generations. The Three Pagodas witness the persistence and breakthrough of tradition, while the Purple Mountain stares at the impact and adaptation of modern times. In this historical background, each character is looking for his or her own position - Ning Fa's selfishness and self-preservation, Ning Gui's shrewd calculations, Ning Zhonghua's fatherly love, and Yu's tenacity in running the family. This is not only a story about family and marriage, but also the collective memory of a generation of Chinese people. Those memories about food stamps, the sadness about household registration, and the persistence of maintaining dignity in difficult situations. What the story ultimately wants to answer is: When personal destiny meets the torrent of the times, how should we protect the perseverance in our hearts? How to find eternity amidst change? "Three Pagodas and Purple Mountain" will give warm and powerful answers.
