This collection of novellas opens a window onto the hidden corners of China recent history, portraying the struggles, desires, and resilience of ordinary people caught in turbulent times. Rather than focusing on grand historical narratives, the stories concentrate on the intimate, fragile, and often painful experiences of individuals whose voices rarely appear in official records. The novellas reveal not only how people at the margins endure oppression and humiliation while clinging to labor, resilience, and kindness as their means of survival. These stories are not only a portrait of hardship but also a testament to dignity, conscience, and the indomitable human spirit; in a society lacking justice, simply surviving becomes an act of defiance.

Motivated by a near-sense of mission, she chooses to focus on a seemingly insignificant corner of Chinese society, revealing how ordinary people at the bottom struggle to survive,relying on their diligence, resilience, and kindness, in an environment deprived of basic justice and conscience.
