The female lead transmigrates to a famine era. She was an orphan adopted by the male lead's family. An accident causes her to travel to this era, though her soul actually went to two different worlds during reincarnation. In the famine era, she is already a mother of a three-year-old. Due to an accident, she becomes her adopted brother's woman and becomes pregnant and gives birth. The male lead, under the influence of drugs, is unaware of his relationship with her, thinking it's a dream and feeling ashamed of his sordid thoughts. He hastily leaves home for a military mission. Three years pass, and he remains unaware of her pregnancy and childbirth. The female protagonist's mother-in-law, who is also her adoptive mother, treats her like her own daughter.

They only knew to keep their heads down and work hard, relying on brute strength to feed their families. They lived in cramped shacks, endured grueling day and night shifts, and swallowed their homesickness and grievances. 24Reads—Score—Shelves

    Recommended Reading Notes for "Going South" (Period Version): From 1972 to 2027, a river, four generations, an inextinguishable lamp. If you enjoy period novels, stories polished by time, and the feeling of finding your parents' shadows in old objects—you'll definitely read "Going South" slowly. Because every few pages, you'll want to stop and call home. --- It tells the story of where you came from. January 1985, Gaoshan Village, Chishui, Guizhou. A young man named Yuan Shoushan, carrying a snakeskin bag, boarded a green train heading south. Six days and five nights, hard seat, the connecting area between carriages crowded with people. He had seventy-three yuan in his pocket, fifty-five of which he lent to a stranger next to him who had lost his wallet and was crying. The IOU was written on the back of a train ticket, the handwriting crooked and uneven, like a twig stuck in the mud. That stranger was Chen Qilin. Twenty-two years later, he took the IOU out of his pocket and returned it to him. The paper was worn through, and the tape had been replaced several times. He said, "I'm not repaying money, I'm repaying a debt of gratitude." "Going South" is about just such a group of people. They came out of the mountains, entered the city, built skyscrapers with their own hands, and paved highways and bridges with their sweat. They are the most silent builders, and also the generation that should be remembered most. --- It describes familiar old objects: iron boxes, kerosene lamps, dragon lanterns, red ropes, remittance slips, grain station IOUs, fines for violating birth regulations, banyan trees, the fire in the stove, oil tea, family genealogies, family letters—each old object tells a story. The things he collected throughout his life while guarding the mountain were finally placed in a rusty iron box. Nineteen items, not one missing. Each one is evidence of his life. After he passed away, Guiying wiped the lid of the iron box every night, brushing off the dust and straightening the rubber bands. She never opened it. But when her hand touched it, her movements were very gentle, as if afraid of waking the things that had been sleeping inside for a long time. The most moving part of period dramas is never the story itself, but those things that remind you of the things under your own closet. --- It describes the eras you lived through: the Hunan-Guizhou Railway, the Sino-Vietnamese War, reform and opening up, the migrant worker wave, the Wenchuan earthquake, the freezing rain disaster, poverty alleviation, tax reduction and poverty alleviation, the Belt and Road Initiative, and rural revitalization—each historical moment is etched in the lives of specific individuals. Yuan Shoujiang was rejected for a recommendation quota due to his "rich peasant" background and could only join the army, sacrificing his life at the age of twenty-one on Hill 303. His last words, only three sentences, run through the entire forty-seven-year history of the book, appearing repeatedly in six chapters, word for word. Yuan Jianguo spent his entire life repaying the debt of that "recommendation quota." He used that quota as if it belonged to two people. He used it to study, to teach, to manage education, to provide minimum living allowances, to help with disaster relief, and to provide a safety net. He used it to refuse again and again. He used it his whole life. He didn't use it all up. But he kept using it. Shoushan tied steel bars in Guangzhou for thirty-seven years. His pension was a little over one hundred yuan a month. Yuan Jianguo's pension was a little over seven thousand yuan a month. Two brothers, one who worked for 45 years within the system, the other who carried bricks on construction sites for 37 years, their retirement pensions differed by sixty times. But Shoushan's hundred-plus bricks were earned brick by brick by himself. The weight of this historical novel lies not in major events, but in the lives of ordinary people. --- It's about the light in your heart. The core image of this book is just one word: light. The mother says in the kitchen, "The light must not go out." Shoushan thinks in the workers' shed, "The light is still on." Guiying says at the doorstep, "The light must not go out." Yuan Jianguo writes in his notebook, "The person Chengye saved is alive." Su Minghui watches the night light in the corridor of the nursing home. In Nian'en's family portrait, she holds a lamp in her hand. From 1972 to 2027, fifty-five years, four generations. Some have left, some have scattered, the old have grown old. But the light has always been on. This book tells you: no matter how far you go, the light in your home is still on. No matter how long you haven't been back, there are still people waiting for you on Chengye Road. --- A Beginner's Guide for Fans of Historical Fiction Suitable for: • Readers who enjoy "Ordinary World," "White Deer Plain," and "To Live" • Readers interested in their parents' migrant worker history and family changes • Readers who want to understand the changes in rural China since the reform and opening up • Readers who enjoy finding resonance in old objects, folk customs, and dialects Not suitable for: • Those who crave fast-paced, exciting stories • Those who want to see a triumphant comeback • Those who can't stand a slow pace and lots of details Reading suggestions: • Prepare a box of tissues; you'll need them when you get to the "the light hasn't gone out" part • It's best to read on the weekend, because you'll want to call home • If your father or grandfather was a migrant worker, you might cry after reading it One sentence recommendation: From 1972 to 2027, a river, four generations, an unextinguished light. This is a realistic epic about ordinary people, about your parents, your hometown, and where you came from. The light is still on. The river is still flowing. With a bright heart, what more needs to be said? #Current Affairs #Southward Migration #Epic of the Common People #Rural China #History of Migrant Workers #Four Generations of a Family #A Bright Heart #Rural Literature #Realism #Book Recommendations

    Reader note

    This is my first new book, and I quite like it. Although there aren't many chapters, the female lead is truly a sophisticated, self-serving, yet harmless individual. Also, the part where the female lead's brother is harassed by the villagers after saving someone—the female lead and her mother are practically the first people I've ever read to do something like that! They're incredibly capable, especially the mother; she's willing to go to such lengths! The second book gradually improves; the only initial flaw is the premise: she divorces her brother and marries her brother-in-law (both are virgins). The third book needs little description; its 9.2 Rating is well-deserved. It's a satisfying read without any frustration, featuring a highly skilled and ruthless female lead. The fourth book is even better; it's a benchmark for getting something for nothing. The female lead is practically a walking enigma. She's incredibly cunning! A 9.6 Rating is well-deserved. I especially love the fifth book; the female lead uses everyone effectively and efficiently. She gets her whole family to work for her, yet everyone gets what they want. She's a master of empty promises! And the male lead is truly the best male lead ever! When I read it, I thought, "How can there be such a wonderful man!" This sixth book is my recent favorite, hands down. The male lead is a type I've never seen before, and so is the female lead. She knows how to get love and what she needs, and she knows how to love and make others feel her love. She's the kind of person who, no matter what kind of man she lives with, will still live a good life. Seriously! The male lead isn't perfect, but he changes little by little, and the female lead guides him gently. Everything is just perfect—a 9.3 Rating; you'd be missing out if you didn't read it!
