The novel "One Step for a Thousand Miles" truly records the 60-year struggle history (1959-2019) of three generations of an ordinary family in China. The protagonist Qiu Jianguo of the Qiu family lost his father at a young age and lived a difficult life with his mother, siblings, in the smallest natural village in Northeast China. He tempered and grew himself in the difficult situation, and tried every means to live a good life and take care of his family. At the age of 37, he was admitted to work in the county town. The family's life has been greatly improved through hard work despite difficulties. The children grew up one after another, and the family moved to Shanghai through unremitting efforts.
The full text combines China's social changes over the past 60 years and truly records the joys and sorrows of an ordinary family. It is not very exciting, but it is extremely real. Through this window of the Qiu family, we can see the hard work, simple happiness, difficult choices, and ubiquitous love of the Chinese people during the country's great changes and development in the past 60 years.
Everyone who works hard for a better life is a great hero! ----They are walking among the crowd, plain-looking and unremarkable. Maybe it's you, me, him, them... Those who struggle will not be forgotten because they are ordinary or because of the passage of time...
