Features: This is a work created by an ordinary person, extraordinary in the ordinary. It is plain and unadorned, yet moving. The female protagonist arrives in the deep mountain in the northwest at the age of one. At six, she witnesses the suicide of her biological father. By ten, she begins to experience the indifference of human relationships and the harshness of the world. The mining life filled with coal smoke, the characters who still roam the streets of the mountain city to this day, the Cultural Revolution's devastation, various aspects of society, marriage, family, and a merchant's life—all of the author's 50 years of life's journey, filled with sweet and sour, bitterness and joy, are vividly depicted on the pages. Xinhua News Agency, Shaanxi Worker's Newspaper, Beijing Youth Newspaper, and dozens of other media have reported on the publication of this book.
