Preface
PrefaceAlthough I am an engineer, I have published more technical reports and papers. As for publishing literary fiction, this is my first time. The reason I wanted to write a novel is that my relatives lived in the countryside and the majority of my father’s generation were farmers. Although I work in a city enterprise. But when I returned to my hometown, I often heard many strange village stories, witnessed the twists and turns of my relatives and friends, and accumulated rich life materials for my writing.
I have been revising the title of the book. It was “Jinhua into city” and later changed to “rons city 13 sister”. Finally, I decided to name the book “Escape”.
In short, the hero of the story is a rural woman, and 12 other rural women.
I think, due to my personal experience and real feelings, the lives in the countryside and the farmers are different, and some are really unknown to the others.
The reason I use the title “Escape” is:
The heroine Zheng Jinhua has been trying to get rid of the status quo. She spent most of her life fighting against fate and fighting for her family. She wants to get rid of poverty when she is young; When she wants to escape the misfortune of marriage; When giving birth, she wants to avoid family planning; In business, she suffered and was punished. She often loses money and is in debt. In order to earn money to pay off her debts, she left China and nearly died.
However, as she tries to escape and struggle, she meets a “noble man”.
The description of the fate of the other 12 rural women is also typical.
Needless to say, Zheng FanMei had to go to Informal work to pay for her daughter’s college tuition. After all, she cannot escape this tragic fate.
That is to say, after Ximei divorced her disappointed husband, she wanted to fight alone, saying, ” I can’t rely on men, I have to rely on myself.“Did she do it?
As the daughter of a senior cadre, Wang fangming could have relied on her parents to find a good job and a marriage. Unexpectedly, her husband is an alcoholic, but she still needs to take care of his serious health condition. Who can help her in difficult times?
Huang Yueyu Married to a Korean, she never knew if she was a real Korean daughter-in-law.
Especially Liu Baomei and other women with strong personalities, what will happen after leaving the country?
Wang Aixiang Want to get rid of the marriage, she fled her hometown. She wanted to see her parents for one last time, but she could not do it.
Although Chen Mingli is smart, beautiful and pragmatic, she cannot escape the misfortune of marriage and imprisonment. After her release from prison, she still hides in the mountains to avoid those who wanted her to return the money and harass her.
Surprisingly, Zhang Qiuju’s divorce from her melancholy husband Li Jianqiu triggered a major case that shocked the whole country.
In short, I am used to investigating and tracking these things, like a detective, writing about people who want to escape the odds.
I describe the emotional life of women, including the emotional entanglement between the protagonist and her lover Chen Yuejin, her husband huang biaofu, her childhood friend Zheng Bing, and her fellow countryman Huang Jianfeng, including fragments of passion and love. But what would the extramarital feelings and the Chinese orthodoxy bring to her?
What puzzles me is: will there be so many people looking for food like wild cats and dogs, and they live a turbulent life every day?
The description of rural life is “obvious”. It makes us think even more.
The description of the local conditions and customs in Chinese Fujian and eastern Fujian reflects my extraordinary feelings about my hometown.
