Features: In the 1970s, the protagonist was abandoned by his mother just 25 days after his birth and was raised solely by his grandmother. He spent a joyful childhood in the rural village on the yuán. Later, he moved to the city with his father to study but endured cold treatment from his stepmother. Unable to let go of his longing for his grandmother and hometown, he secretly returned home with the ideal of "changing the world."
This book presents a comprehensive narrative of the personal spiritual journey under China's urbanization process, reflecting the variations in the lives of contemporary Chinese people through personal accounts and memories. It authentically reveals the state of modern existence, serving as a true portrayal of a generation, imbued with great warmth and emotional resonance. The beloved "grandmother," poetic and picturesque details of life, and the cinematic "montage" editing style draw readers effortlessly into the narrative. The entire book is filled with a nostalgic warmth and a strong sense of rural life. In a modern society dominated by materialism and lacking familial bonds, the profound affection highlighted in the book is deeply moving.
