Time at Your Fingertips

In Qinghai, the word "guangyin" has several meanings: money, family property, and time. Zhang Yubao is an unpretentious farmer, full of grit to the core. He spends his life rushing about, yet accomplishes little. He keeps striving in his own way to realize his dreams, and hopes his children will follow his wishes, find happiness and stability in the way he envisions, and bring him dignity and honor. But times change, and the twenty-first century arrives quietly. Everyone has their own ideals and ambitions, and his three children each take a different path in life, bringing him joy and worry, helplessness and anger. The two generations have lived through different times, and their differing ways of thinking make it impossible for them to move forward together without conflict. Yet the blood in their veins and the irreplaceable ties of family bring them together to clasp hands and hold up an umbrella through every storm.

As a rural novel, this work seeks to promote Hehuang culture, explore the complexity of human nature, and portray the lives of ordinary people amid decades of social change. It also reflects on the spirit of chivalry from a fresh perspective and delves into the deeper meaning behind the idea of "guangyin."
