What literary works about farmers are there in China?

The protagonists of local literature are all farmers' friends.

Local literature: also known as local novels, its appearance can be traced back to Lu Xun's hometown. In the 1920s, a group of young writers close to the countryside appeared in the modern literary world. Influenced by Lu Xun, their works take rural life as the theme and farmers' sufferings as the main content, forming the so-called "local literature". Representative writers are Peng, Xu Jie, Xu, Wang and Tai Jingnong. Local literature appeared under the influence and development of the literary proposition "for life". These vagrants living in Beijing and Shanghai have witnessed the difference between modern civilization and patriarchal villages. Inspired by Lu Xun's thought of "transforming the national character", with memories of childhood and hometown, they moved "the life and death of the countryside and the smell of soil" on paper with a touch of nostalgia, showing a distinct local color. Representative works include Peng's Picking a Thorn, Wang's Tired, Xu's Crazy Woman, and Tai Jingnong's Children of the Earth.
