Blurb for *Roses Among Thorns in the Nineties*: I know this is a good story, so I want to tell it to you slowly. Starting life over, you'll find thorns everywhere. This is the story of an ordinary person who is unexpectedly reborn. Watch a young girl take on the world with nothing but her bare hands. Yang Xiaolian, nearly forty years old, is unexpectedly reborn in her elementary school days, before any of her regrets have begun. Her beloved maternal grandfather hasn't suffered a sudden illness and died beyond help, leaving only grief behind. Her honest, quiet parents haven't spent their whole lives laboring, left with nothing and burdened by illness. The town's unprecedented boom hasn't begun yet. The Yang family is a poor farming household in the hilly countryside of the south. They share the local values of favoring boys over girls, but also have an ambition uncommon among their neighbors: to change the family's fortunes and make something of themselves. The late eighties and nineties were the peak years of the family planning policy. The eldest Yang son had three daughters in a row, was fined a hefty social maintenance fee, and lost his job, leaving him no choice but to return home and farm. Above them, strict grandparents ruled the household, while their hard-working parents turned a blind eye. Below them, there was a clever, adorable male cousin to compare themselves against... Every day, the three sisters of the Yang family's eldest branch lived in hunger and cold, always on edge. Yang Xiaolian, the middle of the three sisters, had nearly been sent away at birth. Looking at her thin arms and legs, she understood once again how little anyone listens to someone with no power. All she could do was pin her hopes of escape on her parents, who were still in their prime. First, save money by working. Then open a little street stall, then start a small business, and then claim a share of the boom. In the future, they might become millionaires, or even multimillionaires... But who would listen to a child? They didn't dare, didn't want to, and didn't believe. Old farmers believed only in the results that came from sweat. A frog in warm water thinks everything is just fine. Only when all the injustice and pain come crashing into view do people think of changing things. But by then, will it still be in time? The hardships of the forty years of her previous life constantly spurred Yang Xiaolian on, driving her forward. In this life, she too might crave a little warmth and grow content with a stable existence, but fortunately, reality kept warning her. She works hard to change her family, friends, and surroundings, while also bettering herself. One day, after a journey marked by tears and pain, they all find their own rebirth. Along the way, there are friends, enemies, people who look on coldly, and people who reach out to help. Along the way, Yang Xiaolian helps others and turns a blind eye to injustice. She succeeds and fails, and finally comes to understand the meaning of life. Nothing is accomplished overnight. You are the only savior of your own life. Theme: gender equality, self-reliance
