The Liu Family of All Generations

In the early years of the Republic of China, the Liu family lived in Luoma Town in southwestern Hubei, a century-old clan nestled on the mountains with iron-clad rules. The five houses each perform their own duties, the eldest house is in charge of the fields, the second house is engaged in business, the third house is seeking official positions, the fourth house is guarding the courtyard, and the unitary house is teaching. At the age of five, Liu Xingrang first understood the weight of the word "rules" amid his father's authority and the cruelty of his family's laws. The tide of time is sweeping across. From the war of resistance against Japan to the smoke of liberation, the Liu family has experienced choices, sacrifices, glory and trauma. The literary star Liu Zhidong died unexpectedly, and the iron-fisted Hu Caixiu propped up the crisis. The eldest son Liu Ziqiao devoted himself to the revolution. The youngest son Liu Xingrang turned the wisdom of the family's "grain storage" into the practice of "talent storage" in the cracks of the times and became a rural teacher. After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, the river is flowing. The children of the Liu family are scattered in all directions, but the roots and spirit of the family are in the rules and flexibility, perseverance and sacrifice, like mules and horses stepping on stones, carved into the mountains and rivers, and they will never end.
