"Registration" is set in rural North China and focuses on the theme of marital autonomy. The story is mainly based on the marriage experiences of two generations, Xiao Moth and Ai Ai, and unfolds in two lines. When the little moth was young, she had a beautiful appearance and had a young man she liked. However, her parents arranged to marry Zhang Carpenter. After the marriage, she was severely beaten by Zhang Carpenter, which left her with severe inner trauma. The rest of her life was dull and depressed. When Xiao Moth's only daughter Ai Ai grew up, she was young, beautiful, lively, and dared to resist. She fell in love with Xiao Wan, a young man from the same village. However, she encountered various obstacles. Ai Ai's peers Yan Yan and Xiao Jin also encountered similar predicaments, and both could not love their lovers. This work by Zhao Shuli details the experience of his mother, the little moth, starting from the time when the classical Arhat money became a token. The two generations were suppressed, suffered, and finally awakened, as if being pulled by a token. In the end, love won the victory. The new institution of marriage triumphed. With the whole society booming, the ideological progress in rural society is encouraging and hopeful.
