This is a 560,000-word episodic novel that vividly displays the love stories that took place in the Zichuan River area from the 1930s to the 1970s. Through the emotional journeys of farmers Chen Daqiu, Bi Lianxian, and Luo Ying, it reflects the changes in rural China over several decades, and praises the traditional virtues of the Chinese people's diligence, bravery, and loyalty in love.
Daqiu Part One
Bi Lianxian fell in love with Chen Daqiu on the night she married Feng Tian Shi. That night, Lianxian was eighteen years old by nominal age, but had just turned seventeen by actual age. In the eyes of many so-called "new generations" today, seventeen is just the beginning of the "flower season" and "rainy season" of life, a poetic time filled with clarity and transparency like "a half-mu square pond opened as a mirror, reflecting the light of the sky and the shadow of clouds", and freedom and grace like "two orioles singing in the green willows, a line of egrets flying into the blue sky". They sing and play by the lake where "the lotus leaves stretch endlessly to meet the sky, and the red lotus flowers reflect the sun", without worrying about "not having enough food for the next meal", they begin to pursue a hazy love like "flowers that are not flowers, fog that is not fog".
Daqiu Part Two
No one arranged a marriage for his son, and whenever he saw others getting married, Feng Chenghai would be envious to death, sometimes inexplicably even hating it to the point of itching teeth roots. He often dreamed that the groom who married a beautiful bride suddenly died of a severe illness, and the bride as beautiful as a fairy became his daughter-in-law. After Feng Tian Shi passed away, he naturally thought of those strange dreams he had. He truly hoped that his wishes would come true, allowing Bi Lianxian to share a bed with his Tianxi.
Daqiu Part Three
In these past few weeks, Lianxian had been hiding with Xuanzhang at several relatives' homes. Today at her cousin's home in Niukou, and then after three to five days, at her second aunt's home in Liushipo. Hiding east and west, as long as she heard about troops, Lianxian would become extremely nervous and unable to sleep soundly all night. If she couldn't sleep soundly, her cousin or second aunt also wouldn't get much rest. Relatives were also roasted on the volcano and boiled in the oil pot together. No one knew when this unsettling time would end.
