International Phenomenal Book of 2017/18, the only new fiction book with global sales of 10 million copies, dominating both word-of-mouth and sales lists in various countries, and winning 75 awards!

Spanning 60 years, four generations of ordinary families on the Korean Peninsula struggled to move forward in the torrent of history. From the fishing villages in South Korea during the Japanese colonial period in 1920, to Osaka, Japan, through World War II and the Korean War, to Yokohama, Tokyo and even New York in the Japanese bubble economy era in the late 1990s. Against such a complex historical background, the book focuses on describing the relationships and conflicts between generations on a series of issues such as family and hometown, integration and belonging, money and faith. The heroine, as the daughter of an illiterate boat owner from a small fishing village, tried her best to survive with her family in an era that she could not understand. There are many characters and plots, countless stories unique to the era, the tragedies of the fate of small people in the great era, and a grand epic of 300,000 words.
