He stepped on the white lotus with his feet and chopped the Virgin with his hands, slapped his stepmother in the face and tortured his own father, and all the scumbag men and women should die! But after reaching the pinnacle of her life with such joyful revenge, she still couldn't escape from the five-fingered mountain of that evil prince! "Master, please let me go!" "This is difficult...

This is a parent-child book that we have never seen before and cannot classify. Before this, the cases we saw all appeared as successful people. The children in the book are all successful and have gone to Harvard, Yale or Peking University and Tsinghua University; the parents in the book are also successful, possessing a strong heart and wisdom in life. However, the characters in "Raising Children in the Countryside" are weak and powerless. A couple with social disabilities and a child with psychological problems. The child was unable to adapt to several elementary schools in a row, and ended up dropping out of school for a year. Eventually, he became afraid to even sleep because he always had nightmares. The family went from morning to night, so much so that they didn't see the sun for a long time. The parents in the book look weak and incompetent. They have no employer and work as part-time proofreaders in the publishing industry...

The author Feng Lili's words are like a camera that faithfully records every bit of rural life and the subtle changes in children every day. The author did not promote her views in the book, nor did she complain or criticize. Although she had very strong emotions, she always controlled not to express or criticize them. The author's calm, restrained, and detailed writing style is very much like an expensive optical lens, capturing details that are invisible to our naked eyes. And details like that are what make us in the adult world think a lot and make our hearts tremble. The various existing parenting books provide us with various solutions and keys to success, but the author of this book, a family of three, provides us with another possibility of life. It shows us emotions and scenes, pain and love beyond daily experience in a unique way.

This book is the second literary work of writer Feng Lili, which stems from her experience of working as a waiter undercover in a hotel for several months. "I" tells the daily life of a group of young waitresses from the dual perspective of an observer and a witness: they work day after day in exchange for meager wages and a rough life, and are accustomed to an arbitrary increase in workload and simple and even poor living conditions; they bully, quarrel, scheme, and help each other, go shopping and have fun together; they suffer harsh and unreasonable exploitation, and also look for opportunities to be lazy and slack at work. The "airborne" supervisor broke the tranquility of the housekeeping department, and a power struggle quietly began... Finally, when the peak season came, "I", exhausted physically and mentally, left the hotel. In the author's plain, restrained and line-drawing narrative, a guest room is a microcosm of the world. In the past, the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the room attendants who were at the bottom were almost never noticed or expressed, and even they themselves turned a blind eye. This group of waitresses with different faces, dressed in khaki work clothes, seem to have never met other passers-by in this city, but in fact they are no different: it is almost impossible to escape the helplessness of life, and hard work and hard work cannot change the solidified destiny.
