Lu Yao himself said:? Although Gao Jialin returned to his hometown (forced at that time), I didn't say that he would be a farmer in this land forever. The novel is over, but Gao Jialin's life path does not end at the end of the novel; And I also specially marked the words "not the ending" in the last chapter.

The novella Life is a famous work by the famous writer Lu Yao.

Based on the urban and rural life in northern Shaanxi Plateau during the reform period, the novel describes the life change process of Gao Jialin, a high school graduate, returning to the land, leaving the land and returning to the land, which constitutes his story framework. Gao Jialin's emotional entanglements with the rural girl Liu Qiaozhen and the urban girl Huang Yaping constitute the contradiction in the development of the story, and it is also a tragedy that embodies that difficult choice.
