Your Parents Are in Beijing
Slice of Life你的爸妈在北京
Caomeiw
This is a story about a family that values boys over girls in a small southern town. It includes the writer's own story and the related experiences he witnessed while growing up. It is not until the protagonist grows up that he realizes that although there are not a few families with this decadent concept, and even many people have heard about it, it is by no means the mainstream. Although many people's original families are unhappy, they can be said to have normal views on fertility. Only those who are in it will know the grievances, incomprehensions, confusions, helplessness, and the twists and turns of self-consistency and growth. This is a story that I want to write for people who feel the same way, and it is also a story that is intended to be an "eye-opener" for everyone, because this family can be called "outrageous", but you can also see that there is no lack of warmth and happiness in it. In this world full of contradictions, we often don't know whether to love or hate. This mood is just like Yu Hua said in "We Live in a Huge Gap": "So rather than saying that I am telling a story, it is better to say that I am seeking treatment, because I am a patient.".
