The story follows three women born in the 1960s and 1970s. They grew up in an era when poverty had yet to recede and social order remained unsettled. They lived through the tumultuous years when reform and opening up suddenly took hold. Shifts in thought swept through like a sudden gale, carrying them into a vast, unfamiliar world. They became some of the era’s most deeply affected witnesses.
This book tells of their awakening thoughts, choices in action, and shifting morals amid the tide of Chinese society’s transformation from a planned economy to a market economy.
In their thirties, the three women are bound to reality by their children, families, relationships, and responsibilities. Though they live in the same city and their lives seem to follow similar paths, in truth, they are entirely different. Their lives are like three kinds of birds, spreading their wings and soaring through the boundless blue sky.
