This is a long trilogy, with a total of more than 1.3 Million words, based on the story of the joys and sorrows of an ordinary family over twenty years as the basic background, focusing on the life experiences and mental journey of a contemporary young man.
The protagonist of the first "Jialing Wave" work has a personalized pursuit of truth and career and his struggle against fate. He also focuses on portraying the different faces of a group of contemporaries to show the entire social customs of this period. The focus of the ideological content of this part is on the level of the physical and mental pulse of individuals in "political society" and their self-development.
The protagonist of the second part, "Hard Fighting in the Countryside," endured all kinds of hardships that are unimaginable under normal conditions. In the end, he went through an extremely difficult process of transformation both physically and mentally, and finally survived bravely, tenaciously, and with detachment and optimism. Judging from the development of the protagonist's ideological and cognitive level, in this part, he has been exposed to the life proposition of "existence and choice", and often consciously expresses doubts about some "long-established" values in the world.
The third part "New Life" mainly uses the protagonist's experience of an abnormal and passionate love to three-dimensionally and complexly display the suffering of human nature lingering at the intersection of tradition and modernity, thereby conducting a multi-faceted analysis and reflection on the nation's ethics and inherent cultural concepts. This completes the author's careful shaping of the modern personality he understands.
Concept: the epitome of an era, the curved evolution of a trend of thought; an epic of civilian life, the mental journey of a free soul.
