Wang Weimin represents a generation of people who headed south for work in the 1990s, struggling, lost, and helpless at the bottom of society. Each person carries an entire family on their shoulders. They cannot rest, get sick, or let anything go wrong. Death would be a release for him, but for the family behind him, it would be a disaster. Even the right to choose death has been taken from them by the cruel reality of their lives.
The hardships of countless ordinary people are laid bare. Born humble and living in degradation, deep in their souls they still long for a better life.
Here, dignity is worth only five yuan. Love soaks in bitter waters, and life is as foul and endless as water in a stinking ditch.
Much of this book is drawn from real life. It is a rare record of the memories of hundreds of millions of migrant workers, and a reflection of how they live today.
Life must go on, and hardship must be endured. No matter how difficult things get, as long as you are alive, you must keep searching for a sky of your own.
This is the portrait of the souls of generations of migrant workers.
