He was abandoned by his mother when he was three years old, and when he was thirteen years old, he was sent by his grandmother to be a child bride and married to a scoundrel.
In Xiulan's life, everyone has told her: Just accept your fate.
She didn't recognize it.
She believes that as long as she is diligent and capable enough, life will always get better. But fate crushed her hopes again and again - she gave birth to four daughters in a row, and the one who looked most like her died young; her husband was away from home all year round and did not support the family; her eldest daughter was forced by her to find a son-in-law, and finally hated her to the core; her grandson finally got into a junior college, but after graduation could not find a job, and asked her: "Why did you save me in the first place?"
She took care of her paralyzed husband for five years, not out of love, but out of fear that "I would be the only one left in the world."
She sends voice messages to her children and grandchildren every day, but no one responds. She looked at the bronze mirror and asked: "What am I doing in this life?"
The bronze mirror is flowery and cannot reflect anyone.
But the lotus flower on the back is still there - it was left to her by her grandma, and it is also the connection between her and all the "left behind" women in the world.
A woman who "doesn't run away" has spent seventy-five years proving that living is the greatest resistance.
Intention: Using the bronze mirror as an eye, it depicts the fateful cycle of "hope and disappointment". Don't sell your misery, write about your unyieldingness - for women who are trapped by the times, every struggle is resistance.
