On the Other Side of the Mountain, on the Other Side of the Sea

Lin Zhixia never thought that her life would be completely changed by a plane ticket to Canada at the age of thirty-three. Marriage, having children, working, mortgage payments... She, like countless ordinary women, thought that marriage meant walking through an ordinary life together. However, after the birth of the child, the day-to-day pressure of parenting, long-term lack of sleep, husband's addiction to alcohol, and escalating quarrels gradually made the marriage that was once full of expectations gradually lose its warmth. She worked hard to maintain her family, but she also saw the truest appearance of reality amidst repeated disappointments. By chance, the family of her daughter's kindergarten classmate decided to immigrate to Canada. This seed of distant lands quietly took root in Lin Zhixia's heart. For the sake of their children's education and to find the possibility of another life, the family sold their property, packed their bags, and embarked on a journey to Vancouver. This is a story about leaving, taking root, and rebirth. It is also a story about countless ordinary people seeking life answers for their families, children, and themselves in the tide of the times.
