At the age of 16, Yang Wansheng learned that her mother was betrothed to a man who was willing to pay a large gift to marry her because she wanted to collect a gift for her brother. During the subsequent 44 years of her miserable life, she was hit hard by fate again and again, lost her loved ones, and suffered from poverty and injustice. But she always survives as tenaciously as a weed, shouldering the burden of the family with amazing resilience and deep maternal love, fighting for a glimmer of light for her descendants in a desperate situation, and finally completing the story of relief and reconciliation with her own life on the edge of mental collapse.
Intention: Tenacity to survive, the brilliance of motherhood, the struggle and unyieldingness of women under the torrent of the times, and the weak but tenacious flowers that bloom in the gaps of despair.
