The Loess Is Silent, I Grow Flowers on My Own

On the northwest loess slopes, a girl named Zhang Xiaohui grew up in a cave dwelling that favored boys over girls. The mother married away in the mountains out of love, but life wiped away all her brilliance; the father was ignorant and rough and regarded his daughter as a burden. She relied on studying and starting a business to break through again and again. After four failures, she took her mother out of the mountains with a "real live broadcast of helping farmers" and earned dignity for herself. She is not married and does not receive a certificate, but she comes back time and time again with scars and affection to treat her mother, install induction cookers for her father, and renovate stoves for 112 empty-nest households. She finally understood that reconciliation is not about forgetting, but about turning the bloody past into a light that illuminates others.
