Many people think that rural literature and urban literature are incompatible, but I don't think so. Rural areas and cities are not separate. City people also have hometowns, and people who grow up in rural areas can also live in cities. There should be a bond between the two, that is, values and beliefs, which accompany people throughout their lives.
I have always wanted to use words to record the real living conditions of the people in my hometown, their emotions, experiences, struggles and destiny. They may be weak and ordinary, but it is precisely because of thousands of them that our society has made great progress and the country has developed rapidly. They are witnesses and creators of the times.
Over the past forty years of reform and opening up, we have witnessed tremendous changes in the times. In the era of rapid changes and great waves, people need a certain amount of spiritual support. This spirit is value and belief.
The protagonists in the novel - An Lan and Bai Hua, are a pair of young people who love each other very much. They grew up in different family environments and received different values. When they encountered changes and sufferings in life, choices and temptations, their very different attitudes towards life led to the huge difference in their destiny.
Intention: Don't care too much about what happens to you, but think about what you have done.
