Yan Deliang, a native of Hengyang, Hunan, was born in the early 1950s. He once served as an educated youth, workshop director, factory director, editor, etc. He began writing in the late 1970s and published several works in publications such as "Spark", "Hunan Literature", "Literary Circle", "Shuofang", and "China Railway Literature and Art". Now lives in Chenzhou, Hunan. My mother was a child bride and came to my grandfather's house when she was about five or six years old. My grandma led me and kowtowed to my grandparents. When my mother went to play, my grandma pulled away and walked away. During those days, my mother cried and searched for my grandma everywhere, and refused to eat for days and nights. The tragic situation is similar to that of abducted children today. From then on, she lived a life of dependence in her husband's house. When I was fifteen, my mother and father consummated their marriage and gave birth to me at the end of the same year. That year happened to be the year of liberation, and the new marriage law was being implemented. My father wanted a divorce, but his grandfather slapped him until his ears bled.
