    We are always chasing the lights of the city, but we forget that our fathers spent their lives wandering to support us with a stable life. "Going South" takes the fifty-five-year period from 1972 to 2027 as the background, focuses on the four generations of the Yuan family in the mountain village of northern Guizhou, and writes the most authentic epic of a Chinese migrant family. From the mountains to the Pearl River Delta, from opening up wasteland and guarding the land to going south to make a living, a generation left their hometown and suffered in silence, hiding their grievances and longings, and only used clumsy struggle to support the family fireworks. There are no grand legends in the book, but only the real lives of countless ordinary people: working and drifting, staying in their hometown, parting between life and death, and intergenerational inheritance, describing the ups and downs and perseverance of millions of families in the process of urbanization. The whole book uses restrained and realistic brushwork to describe local fireworks and the warmth and coldness of the world. Those words of forbearance, the kindness that never goes out of hand, and the lights that never go out are the epitome of countless lower-class families in China.
