Blind Flow is a novel that amazes, makes you laugh, and makes you think. Although the author is not a sociologist, with a sociologist's sense of responsibility and a broad perspective on life, he focuses on the vulnerable groups in contemporary society. These people are everywhere—on the village square, streets, and roads. Through this book, you can see their real life conditions and the resilience and optimism they have gained through hardship. Everything is unexpected, yet everything is reasonable. No matter how hard your life is, you can find the strength to live from this book.
Blind Flow takes place not far from my hometown, reminding me of the winding Great Sand River in the Plain of Zhunbei. The river is overgrown with reeds, bulrushes, and aquatic plants, teeming with fish, shrimp, and various birds with melodious, unfamiliar calls. The people living on both banks of the river are simple, kind, and hardworking but content. Therefore, the characters and stories in Blind Flow feel familiar to me. I sincerely hope that Sun Guomin and his descendants, who live on this bitter and scorching land, can experience rebirth like the phoenix and lead a happy life without wandering.

Sun Guomin, a villager from Anhui's "Beggar Village," suffers ridicule in the village because he is infertile. To, Sun Guomin makes his wife pretend to be pregnant and goes to great lengths to buy a child, only to unexpectedly discover an abandoned infant in the hospital. The child is found to have congenital heart disease, and the family planning official repeatedly visits them to demand sterilization. Faced with misfortune and pressure, Sun Guomin resolutely takes his family and leaves their hometown, embarking on a journey of blind flow. Along the way, he is robbed, stolen, arrested, checked for temporary residence permits, subjected to "three purifications," deported, and forced to beg. Sun Guomin tells his wife again and again, "The sun never fails to rise. It can rain in the sky, crops grow on the ground, and people can live by eating grain. Therefore, heaven is to let people live, to give them a way to live, unless you don't want to live well yourself." Ten years later, Sun Guomin and his wife return to their hometown, now with a large family.
