    Reader note

    While historical novels began to flock to embrace the prophetic time travelers and the triumphant rise of superhumans, this work chose the most "clumsy" yet most poignant approach—using the rise and fall of a family over half a century to depict the realities of life for hundreds of millions of ordinary people from the late Qing Dynasty to the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are no grand historical events or heroic legends that turn the tide; what flows between the pages are the fragmented struggles of ordinary people swept along by the tides of history.
