Winter Sun!

Taking the growth dilemma of senior girl Xiao Qing as an entry point, it connects the family's intergenerational emotional loss and the fetters of fate, and explores the struggle and redemption of low-level individuals in the shadow of their original family. "Winter Sun" is not only a concrete scene, but also a symbol of the everlasting glimmer of light in a desperate situation. The story begins in the winter mist of her senior year. Xiaoqing is photographing a lonely tree in an old neighborhood and is ridiculed by passers-by. She compares herself to the lonely tree, feeling lonely and numb. Her questioning of fate triggers a recollection of her family's past. The novel gradually reveals intergenerational trauma: the development of her grandmother's selfish character, the cruel experience of her father being seriously ill and abandoned when she was young, the regret of interrupted schooling and the hardship of urban struggle. These shadows have profoundly shaped Xiao Qing's growth. In childhood, Xiaoqing was a "spectator" in the family. Her parents were busy and absent, and her grandmother was indifferent and distant, which made her lonely and closed her heart in the gap between urban and rural areas. Her rebellious and forbearing in adolescence, her attempts to escape from school, and her setbacks in college all confirmed that it is difficult to escape the shadow of her native family. During the graduation season, job hunting was blocked, and the pressure of thesis plus unreasonable demands from the family intensified conflicts, and Xiaoqing awakened from a desperate situation. Lone Shu's epiphany and resonance with people in the same situation allowed Xiao Qing to break free from his shackles. She refused the unreasonable demands of her family and pursued herself firmly. She even had an in-depth communication with her father and reached an understanding. She was relieved of the past when looking back at her grandmother's situation in her later years. In the last winter, Xiaoqing saw the lone tree sprouting again, reconciled with the past in the warm sunshine, found the direction of life, lived as his own "winter sun", and interpreted the power of being born toward the sun.
