About This Novel

1.\TThe "Old Objects Warehouse" deep in the old alley hides two things: old objects that need to be repaired, and the obsession contained in the objects. When Lin Yan took over the Republic of China kerosene lamp engraved with "Qi He", he did not expect that it would reveal his grandmother's last words before her death - "Your grandpa will come back when the lamp is repaired." The dark red blood stains in the cracks of the lamp pole, the mysterious commission letter deep in the tree hole, old photos of a woman in a cheongsam with similar eyebrows and eyes to hers, and the man wearing thin-rimmed glasses are all surrounding this lamp. The moment her fingertips touched the lamp body, she suddenly understood: some old things needed to be repaired not because of cracks, but because of the unspoken "wait" that had spanned nearly a hundred years. 2.\TLin Yan's antique restoration shop is never short of weird commissions, until the Republic of China kerosene lamp embedded with rubies came to the door. The anonymous letter, the generous reward in the tree hole, and the words on the letter "People will come home after the lamp is repaired, don't wait until the lamp is broken", are like threads leading her into the past. There was dried blood stuck in the crack of the lamp pole. The woman in the cheongsam in the black and white photo looked exactly like her. Even the man who came to deliver the lamp had a story as heavy as the lamp hidden in his eyes. It turns out that some old objects are not cold furnishings. They are people who are holding on to the years and refusing to let them go. They are trying to find their way home with the help of a lamp. 3. The kerosene lamp of the 17th year of the Republic of China contains half the ashes of time. Lin Yan thought he was just repairing a lamp, but he was involved in a cross-generational waiting: the "return" that grandma has been thinking about all her life, and the hidden handwriting hidden in the cracks of the lamp body...
