This book, narrated from the first-person perspective, portrays the turbulent years of Xu Shengli, a veteran father, and his comrades from the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation to the socialist construction and reform and opening-up period after the founding of New China. It particularly focuses on the complex and conflict-ridden marriage and family life of the father and mother, spanning over half a century. The work creates a group of flesh-and-blood, warm, and distinctive veteran figures. Throughout their lives, the author never shys away from their limitations and even flaws. Misplaced love, father-daughter resentment, disappointment with the next generation, loss and joy… Peacetime is different from wartime; inherent differences in personality and values highlight the various conflicts in their family life. They change, they compromise, but deep down, they uphold what they believe in.
本书从“我”的叙述角度, 展现老一辈军人父亲徐胜利及他的战友们从抗日战争、解放战争一直到新中国建立后的社会主义建设、改革开放时期波澜壮阔的火热岁月, 尤其是父亲与母亲长达半个多世纪的充满矛盾纠葛的婚姻家庭生活。作品塑造了一群有血有肉、有温度且不乏个性的父辈军人形象, 在他们成长的历程中, 作者从未回避他们的局限, 甚至是缺陷。爱情错位, 父女生怨, 对下一代的失意, 失落与悲欢……和平年代不似战争年代, 原本性格、观念的不同, 彰显着他们家庭生活中的各种冲突。他们在改变, 在妥协, 但骨子里对他们要坚守的
