"Before You Leave" author Bi Xiaonan's first human nature novel, the century-old land of Jiaodong, writing about the fate of the lower class people! "Born to Be Human", Bi Xiaonan's new masterpiece, contains nine human nature novels. On the land of Jiaodong that spans hundreds of years, there are many story characters: the missing daughter, the crazy carpenter, the loveless barber... They are trapped in the adversity of the times, caught up in the wind and waves of life, full of vicissitudes and emotions of life, and accept the judgment of fate. Born as human beings, they are clumsy and unyielding. They put sadness in their hearts and wear hope on their feet.

Following "Born to Be Human", Bi Xiaonan's new novel masterpiece writes a rhapsody about the fate of four generations of a family. Bi Xiaonan said: "Don't be afraid, don't hate, rely on yourself and seek some way to survive from this world." A brand-new touching story, a rhapsody about the fate of four generations of a family. The story takes the fate of an ordinary family on the Jiaodong Peninsula as a clue, extending from the late Qing Dynasty to 2023. Four generations span a century. In different eras, each generation has its own storms, and each generation has its own Long March. A life-or-death escape across a national border, a song of passion for women at the bottom of society, a silent challenge to kill the patriarchy... Golden lines appear frequently, and are called "the book of redemption in life" by readers. To live, one must believe in the possibility amidst the impossibility. The real major events in life all depend on the word "fate". All we can do is to tinker with the word "luck". Who an individual is, what he pursues, and how he chooses, the sum total of these constitutes a person's life. Bi Xiaonan tries to tell every ordinary person through this book: "Any ordinary person, no matter how humble, his life will be a great epic of his own as long as he tries his best to live."
