They Are in the Torrent

Being a daughter is the "original sin", but "accepting fate"? It was never their choice! In the countryside in the 1980s, the four sisters of the Gao family were tightly bound by poverty and patriarchal preference: Gao Juhua ran away from home and worked her way out of a demolished building from a vegetable stall, but she risked everything on her obsession with "incense" and gave birth to a child with Down syndrome even though she knew the danger was high. She lost her job and fell into the abyss for the rest of her life; Gao Yihong was married to her mother. The family sucked blood for half her life, and her husband's family trampled her dignity. She ran away several times but gave in to her daughter, and her youth was finally exhausted; Gao Meihua married a lazy husband and supported the whole family with her blood and sweat on the construction site; Gao Hongxia was mistaken for "love" and plunged into a poorer ravine for her young husband. She broke her head in the south and broke her head. They are sisters connected by blood, and they are the glimmer of light in each other's darkness: Gao Yihong helps Gao Juhua escape from marriage and flee, and Gao Juhua nurtures her sisters after she becomes rich... In the torrent of fate, they fought in different ways and paid different prices, but their tenacity was the same. Their struggles create a glimmer of light for the next generation. Twenty years later, their children took completely different paths: Lin Xinrui worked hard, graduated from a prestigious school, and got a gold collar job. When she encountered gender and birth prejudice, she was filled with anger and fought back bravely, becoming an urban elite; Lin Mengchun went to a foreign country and declared her independence by being single; Tang Wanruo studied medicine and strengthened himself, and in a joke of fate, reshaped his younger brother's life... This is a war between two generations of women: a long war against old ideas, the limitations of the times, and their own weakness. They spend their whole lives just to win the simplest right - to breathe a free air according to their own wishes.
