This historical novel, with delicate brushstrokes and unpretentious descriptions, truly reproduces the long life experience of the protagonist Ji Yonghui, who lived on the banks of the Zema River in the land of Kanto for more than sixty years. During these more than sixty years, Ji Yonghui's life has been ups and downs, like a roller coaster: there are moments of laughter and joy, there are also hardships of bitterness and sadness; there are passions of struggling and moving forward courageously, and there are also gloomy moments of discouragement and malaise; there are bright moments of victory and imminent success, and there are also lonely moments of encountering setbacks and being in trouble. The author's purpose in writing this novel is to tell future generations that among their predecessors, there were two generations like this who experienced not the gloom and absurdity described by a certain literati, but the tortuous years full of passion and struggle.
