Home-Cured Tobacco is a story of a multigenerational family in China, from a small town named Big Nest. This small community exist between the centuries old conditions, and the new generations of people exposed to more urban environments. The story tells how things transpire from generation to generation. It is interesting these are the generational type families that are a part of the Chinese culture. In my opinion these families have such gloomy lives, it seems hard to see where they find any happiness. However, happiness for these families may be as simple as market day, when people flock to the small community which may be hosting the event. It seems that fun and happiness are found in the most simplest of life’s events.
