I was born in Jiangnan
They all say that Jiangnan women are like water
Being gentle and obedient to your husband is good for running a household...
And I just wanted to get out of the small building and have a look
The river at the door, the swaying boat
Is it possible to reach further places?
But I have bound feet
Mother said that the three-inch golden lotus is beautiful and will definitely be appreciated by her husband.
But little feet can't carry you far…
When I was young, I wanted to have fun and wanted to see something outside the city.
Just arrived at Wuyi Lane
Less than halfway, I can't walk anymore
I have to come back in small steps
I thought my mother would get angry and scold me if she knew
But she only touched my face lightly
There are endless sighs in the eyes
"Mother, have you ever gone out to see it?"
"Nian'er, don't tell your father. Mother hopes that one day you can go and see it for me. I heard that beyond the south of the Yangtze River, Mobei has the most spectacular fireworks and sunsets in China..."
"Don't you want me to go out for a walk?"
"This is my mother's world, and I can't get out of it."
I have never heard my mother's name since I was a child.
I only know her as "Mother"
Others seem to just call her - Mrs. Ji
Even at the end of her life
What's written on it is only my father's name.
Said: Mistress of the Ji family
Will a woman forget her name after she gets married?
Mobei, Dunhuang
How far is it from Jiangnan and Ji's old house?
Do the people there also walk with little feet?
Will the women there also lose their names?
Purpose: We always say that the women in Jiangnan are like water, Wu Nong's soft words make people happy, but no one has ever asked the women at that time whether they also wanted to stand upright like men, live their lives freely and passionately. Instead of being given the name of a certain family after getting married, losing his own name, and having to take care of the household affairs throughout his life, he has never even seen much of the scenery outside Jiangnan City. If I have the chance, I really hope to hold their hands and take them outside of Gusu City to the edge of Mobei City to watch the most spectacular fireworks.
