Blooming Heart Flowers

[Works supported by Shaanxi Province's designated experience life project] Only when there is light in the heart can people bloom like a flower! Maihua is an ordinary female villager in Panlongchuan, Zhitian Town, Xunyi County. Her husband Chen Jinshui is paralyzed in bed and suffers from depression all year round in the face of huge life pressure. With the help of Liu Haishan, the town women's officer, Maihua picked up the scissors she had planned to use to end her life and learned paper-cutting at the "Handicraft Cooperative." In the world of paper-cutting, Maihua not only cured her depression, but also led the other eleven women in the village, who like her were unable to leave Panlongchuan, to use the scissors in their hands to cut a broad road unique to Xunyi people. The novel explores the new issue of how to pay attention to and care for the mental health of left-behind rural women in the construction of a new countryside. It is also a song of life for rural women who are unyielding and do not bow to poverty and fate.
