In contemporary China, there is such a group of women. Because the industrial structure has changed and their husbands have gone out to work, they are defined as "left-behind women." Mr. Ye Jingzhong, a professor at China Agricultural University, has done a relatively systematic survey and research on left-behind women. He pointed out in the book "Dancing Alone in the Streets: Left-behind Women in Rural China": "Since the 1980s, a large number of married male laborers have gone out to work in cities, and the phenomenon of left-behind women in rural areas has subsequently emerged. The husband's migration to work has greatly increased the family income level and improved family life. However, due to the absence of their husbands in the family, left-behind women shoulder family responsibilities such as agricultural production, child support, and elderly care, and thus face the dilemma of increasing labor and psychological burdens. "Another project report stated that there are currently nearly 50 million left-behind women in our country. High labor intensity, heavy mental burden, and high life pressure are the new "three big mountains" that weigh on them. A scholar who has long studied China's left-behind population believes that "the large number of left-behind women in contemporary China and the heavy burden they bear are rare not only in Chinese history, but also in the modernization process of the world."

A legend about a disease Do you know leprosy? When I decided to take up writing on the subject of leprosy villages, the difficulties and struggles I encountered were far beyond my expectations. My previous limited understanding of the disease was that it was an infectious disease, scary and a bit far away. It seems to be equivalent to the history of human civilization, ancient and mysterious. "Do you know about leprosy?" With this question, I randomly interviewed nearly a hundred people. The answers varied, but there was a common theme: leprosy is contagious and very scary. "Have you ever seen leprosy?" The responses to this question asked at the same time were broadly similar. "I've never seen it." "Then why do you think leprosy is so scary?" I would ask. The answers are basically similar. "I heard."

When Nursery Rhymes arrived at Miyun Station, the sky was clear and the wind carried the rich fragrance of leaves. After buying a glass of water at a small tea shop, she began to inquire about the small village called Huangtu Bandier, but of course to no avail. Because the village was too small, Tongyao decided to walk there. And she had indeed forgotten how to get out of the criss-crossed streets. She began to feel anxious, and bubbles would appear at the corners of her mouth when she was anxious. She licked her lips, and sure enough, a blister formed, which intensified her inner anxiety. Yes, tomorrow, they agreed to meet tomorrow, on the loess land. She should be a woman with a beautiful and flawless face - she could not tolerate herself meeting her loved ones in such an image. Surrounded by unfamiliar Beijing accents, mellow and tough, she, a Suzhou woman, suddenly fell into a state of panic.

Mr. Su's eyesight is not very good and he has difficulty reading newspapers. He wears glasses with high myopia. He holds a round magnifying lens in his hand and reads slowly. A few months ago, London accompanied Mr. Su to see an ophthalmologist. The doctor noticed Mr. Su's concern and comforted him by saying, "Your eyes are not as bad as you thought, and you can still use them." As the doctor spoke, he glanced towards London. London looked at the doctor with a hint of complicity, but in his heart he was panicking and worried that Mr. Su's eyes were completely damaged. As Mr. Su's nurse, would he have to act as a crutch? Thinking so, London's heart felt a little gray. Mr. Su was supported by London all the way back home. As soon as he entered the house and changed into slippers, Mr. Su's mood fluctuated a little and said, "I see, the doctor was just trying to comfort me... Just comfort me." London went to work cleaning up the table and coffee table.
