About the Book

在云南某个与世隔绝的偏远山村,生活着两位遭人遗弃的苦命兄弟,为了生存,哥哥十岁到煤矿当了童工,七岁的弟弟成了村里的放牛娃,而县城里年迈的父母和年幼的弟妹,却以另一种烈火般的姿态生存着。哥哥二十二岁不幸死去,弟弟接过生活的重担:背煤。在煤矿塌方中逃过一劫后,重新创业赡养父母,供养弟妹和哥哥生前养子。就在生活朝着希望的轨道行进时,养子被人夺走,心爱的姑娘外出打工杳无音讯。弟弟踏上寻找之路,也踏入以都市为中心的社会结构中。然而,一连串的变故也接踵而来:父亲死亡、母亲病重、都市遭骗、养子甘愿留在别人身边,妹妹遭遇不幸沦落风尘,心爱的女人染上毒瘾走向毁灭,自己也在一场灾难中失去了双腿......

这是一部另类的现实主义作品,作者写黑色幽默式的生存苦难,但残酷中却处处包含着温情。关于成长锤炼,关于社会底层,关于忏悔救赎,关于家庭、幸福、人性,作者用博大的人文关怀,讲述了让人无法回避的残酷真相。然而,这部小说并不是要拷打人性的罪恶,而是试图诠释个体生命灵魂深处真正的善----这也是这部现实主义力作的精华所在。
