Ruilong and Chunxiang

Li Ruilong’s father, Li Jinbao, was a drunkard and gambler. He lost most of his wealth, and the rest was drunk with alcohol. His family was destitute. Her mother, Ji Chunmei, is a hardworking rural woman who often quarrels with Li Jinbao and is severely beaten by Li Jinbao. One autumn night in 1986, it was raining cats and dogs. Li Jinbao lost his borrowed money and came back unsteadily with a bottle of liquor he had drunk most of. Ji Chunmei just complained about Li Jinbao, but she was beaten and kicked by a drunkard. Her son protected her, otherwise Chunmei would be disabled on the spot.
