Flatbed Truck

The Flatbed Cart follows the life of its protagonist, Guozi, weaving together the shared memories of those born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s with the joys and sorrows of rural migrants moving to cities. It recounts his rebellious youth, his work selling grass and hauling goods with a flatbed cart, his migration to the city for work, and his battle against cancer. Interwoven with the local customs and scenery of Ningxia, the book uses simple, unadorned language to convey the resilience of life. The flatbed cart serves as a powerful symbol, carrying the weight of societal changes and the perseverance of ordinary people, filled with nostalgia and positive energy.
