From selling clothes in a clothing store, he broke into the foreign trade industry and gradually rose to prominence; he also encountered his mother being deceived into huge debts, losing all his savings in the financial crisis, being cheated by his uncle, and losing his job and resigning. His life hit rock bottom several times. There is no cheating, there is no noble person sent from heaven, grit your teeth and endure all the hardships ✨ After awakening, you no longer blindly compromise and tolerate, and break free from the shackles of your original family.

They run in both directions and meet again after a long separation, and the smooth flow is not industrial saccharine. The book describes the job boom, alley demolition, the rise of foreign trade, and the Internet wave.

There are three families living in a small alley in the family area of ​​Suzhou Cotton Spinning Factory. With the changes of the times, daily life has undergone earth-shaking changes. 📖② As soon as Song Ying got the house, a letter came from Lin Wufeng's house.

Reader note

Rural China will not die, it just changes its clothes - the metamorphosis of rural China from "Going South" Fei Xiaotong wrote in "Rural China": "From the grassroots level, Chinese society is rural." This sentence was written in 1947. Seventy-eight years have passed, and many people say that rural China is over. The young people are gone, the land is deserted, the old house has collapsed, the ancestral hall door is locked, and the family tree has not added a new member for many years. The fireflies are gone, and there are only nine students left in the school. Lao Wang who sharpened the knife stopped doing it, Lao Zhang who mended the pot is gone, and Lao Liu who made the bucket is dead. But "Going South" tells you: Rural China has not died. It just changed clothes, changed a place, and changed a way of living. 1. From "born here and died here" to "leaving hometown but never leaving roots" "Russian China" says that country people cannot live without soil, and soil is their lifeblood. Grandpa picked up the rice grains that fell on the table and put them in his mouth, saying, "What grows in the soil cannot be wasted." He had never been further than the county seat in his life. When asked why he didn't go out, he said, "The land is here, where else can people go?" This is the first root of rural China: people stick to the land. Yuan Shoushan in "Going South" boarded the green train going south in the first month of 1985, carrying a snakeskin bag. He left the land. His son Cheng'an went to Tianjin to study at university and settled in Changsha. His grandson Nianzu is studying AI in Beijing. From "sticking to the ground" to "flying out", this is the first break in the roots of rural China. But what is broken is "people's attachment to the ground", not "people's attachment to roots". Shoushan has tied steel bars in Guangzhou for thirty-seven years and returns to Gaoshan Village every New Year. His iron box contains the remittance slip stub, mother's letter, Cheng Ye's red rope, and Shou Jiang's photo. He built Chengye Road and donated his son's pension to build the mud road in the village. Before he died, he wrote the word "keep it well" on the plan, which was an instruction for the cultural tourism project in the village. The person is no longer in the field, but the heart is still there. This one is not broken. Cheng Zhi has never left Chishui. Shoujiang's posthumous son has spent his whole life running an agricultural machinery repair shop in the county. He took the family tree and drew a circle behind Moriyama's name. He is the one left by the Yuan family in the mountains. He no longer farms, but he keeps the blue cloth book. The book contains the names of Yuan Shoujiang, Yuan Chengye, Yuan Nianzu and Yuan Nianen. "Be born here and die here" has become "leaving hometown but never leaving roots". It's not stuck to the soil, it's stuck to the blood. 2. From the "Differential Pattern" to the "Network of Folks" "Native China" said that Chinese society is like a stone thrown into water. The ripples spread out in circles. It is pushed out from itself, farther and farther away, and there is a difference between closeness and distance. This is the second root of rural China: relationships are stratified by distance. When the Yuan family holds a funeral, there are rules for who goes to the front of the procession, who holds the portrait, who reads the funeral rites, and who stands outside the crowd. Yuan Wenhua said: "You'll get it after doing it once. I did it for your dad when he passed away. It's been twenty-nine years, and it's your turn." But when we arrived at the Xiamen construction site, this "difference sequence" changed. Before Shoushan knew Wen Zeming, he would help anyone who asked him for help on the construction site. When the youngest He was deducted from his wages, he went to argue the case. A Sichuan worker fell from a scaffolding and was carried to the hospital. In the middle of the night when there was a flood, he helped his co-workers move materials. When the food in the cafeteria went rancid, he went to Lao Liu to change it. These things are not done in "differential order." It's done "duly". When it came to the mobile party branch, this "differential order" was completely reconstructed. Chishui's party members working in Xiamen are scattered in six districts, and no one knows anyone. Wen Zeming said: "Gather them together." Shoushan established a ledger, recording names, phone numbers, and types of work. If anyone is in trouble, just give us a call. The "difference pattern" became the "fellow network". Closeness is not calculated based on blood, but based on "whether one is from Chishui". When a stone is thrown into the water, the ripples are no longer the circle of family members, but the circle of fellow villagers. 3. From "acquaintance society" to "trust community" "Rural China" says that rural society is a society of acquaintances. You don't need to write an IOU to borrow something, just say it. Who is your grandfather, what is your father's name, and how many times you wet the bed as a child, everyone knows. This is the third root of rural China: trust is based on "knowing the roots and knowing the bottom." Shoushan and Chen Qilin met on the train. Chen Qilin lost his wallet and squatted at the junction of the carriages crying. Shoushan put the last fifty-five yuan in his pocket on the snakeskin bag in front of him and left without saying anything. Moriyama used a pencil stub to write the IOU on the back of the ticket. The handwriting was crooked. They are not acquaintances. They are strangers. But Chen Qilin kept that IOU close to him for twenty-two years. The paper is worn through, and the transparent glue has been replaced several times, but it's still there. When he came to pay back the money, Shouyama said, "You keep the money and I'll keep the IOU." Chen Qilin said: "The debt is cleared." The "acquaintance society" has become a "trust community." Trust does not depend on knowing the basics, but on "we are all outsiders". The fifty-five yuan was not lent to an acquaintance, but to someone who, like him, had lost his wallet on the train. 4. From "Order of Rites" to "Organizational Discipline" "Rural China" says that rural society is an order of Rites. When people in the village have disputes, they don't file a complaint or go to the police. Instead, they go to the senior elder in the village. The old man sat on the threshold and smoked a cigarette. After listening to what both sides said, he said "Stop talking a few words, the days are still long", and both sides shut up. This is the fourth root of rural China: rules are maintained by "enlightenment". Shou Shan asked Wang Shunfa for wages, but the contractor ran away. Shoushan stayed calm and sat down in the project department to read from beginning to end the whole book of work hours records that Wang Shunfa had memorized. After reading, he said: "He did these jobs, he paid for these jobs. If you don't pay him, I will just sit here and not leave." The money is coming back. When Shoushan went out to saw trees during a storm, the youngest He shouted at him, "You don't want your life." He said, "I am a party member." "Rite-based order" became "organizational discipline." Rules are maintained not by "education" but by the words "I am a party member." The old man sat on the threshold and said, "The days are still long." The party member sat in the project department and said, "I won't leave." 5. From "Elder Rule" to "Inheritance Consciousness" "Rural China" says that rural society is ruled by elders. The old man lives by the rules. He remembers where his ancestors moved from, who is related to whom by marriage, and he can't help but ask questions. This is the fifth root of rural China: authority is maintained by the "old". Yuan Wenhua has been the village party secretary all his life. When dividing water, he had to give people of two surnames their share; when doing family planning, he had to take people to the door of his own home; when accepting children, he had to knock on the door of each family. The most difficult thing in his life is not to be the branch secretary, but to be the branch secretary and the clan leader at the same time. He has been torn between policy and favor all his life. But in Moriyama's generation, "elder rule" has become "inheritance consciousness." Moriyama is not the clan leader. He is a migrant worker who went south to work. But he left the iron box to Guiying, passed the "lamp" note to Wen Zeming, taught the dragon lantern to Nian En, and left the Chengye Road to the whole village. He is not an elder, he is a successor. "Elder rule" became "inheritance consciousness." Authority is no longer maintained by "olding", but by "remembering". Remember those who are gone, remember those lights that cannot be extinguished. 6. The "Metamorphosis" of Rural China Rural China has not died. It's just a change of clothes. · From "born here and died here" to "leaving hometown but never leaving roots" · From "different order pattern" to "fellow villagers network" · From "acquaintance society" to "community of trust" · From "ritual order" to "organizational discipline" · From "elder rule" to "inheritance consciousness" The clothes have been changed, but the body is still there. The body is that lamp. "The light cannot be extinguished" is what my mother said in the kitchen. What she was talking about was not the fire in the stove, but the tone of the Yuan family. This breath came from the construction site of the Hunan-Guizhou Railway, from the trenches of Highland 303, from the gaps in the Yingxiu ruins, from the steel frames at the Guangzhou construction site, from the party flag of the Xiamen mobile party branch, from the night lights of the nursing center in Guandu Town, and from the kerosene lamp under Nian En's paintbrush. Rural China will not die. It just grew from the land to somewhere else. From the fire in the stove to the night light in the nursing home. From the family tree to the family portrait painted by Nian En. From the ancestral hall to the photo wall of the Cultural Tourism Park. From the short stories of the parents under the yellow jue tree to the data panels of more than 300 stores on the screen of Young He's mobile phone. It's not that we left the countryside, it's that the countryside changed to another piece of land and continued to grow. Fei Xiaotong writes about roots. "Going South" is about the tree still growing after its roots are broken. New branches, new leaves, and new growth rings have grown. The old roots are rotten, but the new roots have taken root elsewhere - into the city, into the network, into the screen, and into every light that is on. Rural China is over. But the lights are still on. What you close is a book. But someone is opening another book. The first page of that book reads: The light cannot be extinguished. (Based on the characters and plots in "Going South", responding to the contemporary fate of Fei Xiaotong's "Country China". The shape of rural China is changing, but the core of "the lamp cannot be extinguished" has never died. It is not eliminated, but is passed on. It is not forgotten, but remembered.)

I recommend this book, it is a realistic youth story that is close to the times. It spans the southern county from 2005 to 2016. The once academically dominant male protagonist went from junior high school all the way to university, completely recording the changes of more than ten years. It does not deliberately create dramatic conflicts, depicts the life of ordinary people in the county, and writes about the choices made on the road to growth and the regrets caused by the character. Like "Alley People", it hides the helplessness of small people in the era, which is plain and touching.

Although this book is from a courtyard, it is definitely eye-catching. It is neither evil nor demonic, nor submissive. The logic is rigorous and the data is detailed. It can be seen that the character's way of doing things has changed with the generations, and it is a breath of fresh air in the courtyard. The most important thing is the in-depth analysis of the characters in the plot, especially Jia Zhang, which is very interesting.
