Tenderness in the Countryside

Bok av Liu Yutang
Who dares to say that Chinese farmers cannot speak, nor dare to do it? As an uneducated farmer, the hero Mou Gezhang often makes extraordinary remarks that amaze his listeners. He goes through different experiences from begging for food in the hard times to starting business successfully, from reclaiming wasteland to leading farmers to getting rich together. Ups and downs of love at different life stages demonstrates his lasting affection, soft heart and chivalrous disposition. This can be called the history of the soul and the new history of entrepreneurship for contemporary Chinese farmers.
