Publisher:COMMONWEALTH EDUCATION MEDIA AND PUBLISHING CO., LTD.
At fourteen years old, Yang Jixing lives with his elderly parents who run a bicycle shop. Although the family of three seems peaceful and harmonious on the surface, a deep-rooted legacy of resentment runs through their bloodline. Jixing’s three older brothers and one sister have been estranged for years, having cut all ties with the family. He knows nothing about who they are or what caused the rift— only that hatred seems to be inherited. The one thing Jixing is sure of is this: hatred brings no good. So he makes a personal vow—to take on the challenge of “”not hating anyone.”” But the moment he begins, obstacles start piling up: A senior at school singles him out, slashing his bike tires nearly every day. A girl classmate unexpectedly proposes a study exchange—something he’s reluctant to get involved in. And a mysterious elementary schooler claiming to be his grandniece shows up, asking for help with a family tree project. All signs point toward one thing: he’s being pulled into the very family history he’s trying to avoid. Can Yang Jixing uncover the hidden truths behind the long-standing feuds in his family? And after all the setbacks and trials, can he truly succeed in his challenge—to hate no one?
