Rootbite

If roots don’t grip the soil, the wind will knock them down. If people don’t hold fast to their roots, the weight of daily life will tear them apart. Generation after generation, people have clung to this rich earth like roots. Spring doesn’t come by itself: people grit their teeth and endure until it does. This story spans several generations. Each one struggles to stay alive, and this little corner of rural life holds the growth of generations, bearing witness to one story after another of joy and sorrow, reunion and separation.
