Guo Qiyu: Grandma, mother, and I are the three most ordinary generations of women in New China. "We are so different, yet so similar, carrying the hopes and regrets of our respective eras," says Guo.

Guo: "From diesel locomotives to high-speed rail, my mother’s youth bloomed on the green mountains and green waters of Huzhou" "My grandma is 92 years old this year. I wish her good health and long life," she adds.
