In February 1971, Yang Nongzhang was born with the expectation of "Nongzhang's Joy", but he was deprived of the right to study because of his gender and was trapped between the stove and the farmland.
From the little girl who was scolded by her father that "it is useless for girls to study" to the girl who went to the police station to change her name - she spent half her life fighting against prejudice.
Illiterate, she changed her name to "Yang Ren" with the help of her daughter. With the most simple tenacity, she lived out her dignity in the folds of the times.
The 38 diaries record the wind and rain and witness how a woman polishes the scraps of fate into a light that illuminates the way forward.
Purpose: To show women's struggle and growth amidst the times and prejudices, and to convey the power of perseverance and self-awakening.
