Mongol Oak Roots

"The Roots of the Mongolian Oak" is set in the coal mines of North China from 1935 to 2000. It tells the story of a young man who supported his father in the kiln and stayed with Chun Xing in the desperate situation of the black kiln and the tide of the times. After experiencing mining disasters and being laid off, he finally clung to the mine as his root for his whole life. It weaves the suffering and tenderness of miners, hides the tenacity of women to help each other, uses "cocoons" to metaphorize the constraints of fate, and uses "roots" to write about the soul of the mines and intergenerational inheritance. It is a mining epic soaked in coal dust and body heat.
