A Family on the Mountain [Farming]

The Xie family makes its living from the textile trade and is comfortably well off. Xie Zhiyun was born to a concubine, and his young father died early. Fortunately, his mother is kind and generous. She never mistreats him and even dotes on him. Xie Zhiyun always believed that, until the family's business ran into trouble and his father and mother forced him to marry a wealthy merchant over fifty years old. Only then did he realize it had all been an illusion. After swallowing a bowl of drugged medicine, Xie Zhiyun thought the rest of his life was settled. But when he woke, he found himself in a mountain cave. A tall, broad-shouldered coachman approached against the light, holding a wild rabbit. "Young master, you're awake?" In spring, they pick flowers on the mountain. At the summer solstice, they catch fish in the water. In autumn, they pick fruit from the branches. On winter nights, they catch birds in the snow. Life in the mountains is leisurely and free. A simple, everyday farming story. Theme: The simple life is the truest life.
