Wonderful stories are happening every day in the countryside. Xinghua Village - a beautiful village surrounded by mountains on the remaining mountains of Changbai Mountain, is only more than 20 kilometers away from the big city.
The story takes place in the early 1990s after the reform and opening up, and is based on real people and true events. Although it begins with the affair between Yao Chengyan, the principal of Xinghua Village Primary School, who is over fifty years old, and Yu Fen, a beautiful young female teacher, the whole book shows a colorful rural stage. Here, many characters with distinctive personalities appear on stage, including Du Ye, the "Tu Emperor" of Xinghua Village, a cruel, courageous and cautious veteran; Shen Youbao, a handsome young man with a bad temper and uncertainty; "Old Four" who is as strong as an ox but lost his sexual ability due to fighting; Du Chunyan, who is timid and fearful and asks her seventy-year-old father to take the blame for herself, etc.
In addition to these little people, township party committee secretaries, large company bosses, mayors, etc. All appear prominently in the countryside. However, the women who support half of the rural sky are the active protagonists here: Du Xia who has been married four times, the wild Wu Ting, the bold and in love girl Feng Qing, the miserable Wang Xiaoli, the contradictory Yu Fan, etc.
This book is very rich in content and delicate in description. It is a microcosm of rural life that is unknown to everyone, but it always runs through the word "love". The beautiful rural scenery makes people fall in love with it.
