You Forgot the Whole World, but I Remember You

About This Novel
This is a memoir of an Alzheimer's caregiver. A linguist who is over seventy years old writes sincerely about his personal experience. He records the process of his partner going from a talkative and polite university professor to a speechless, dementia-incompetent person after his partner became ill. As a 24-hour personal caregiver, under the double blow of being forgotten by her lover and the heavy burden of care, she once lost sleep and herself. From "not daring to get sick" to "accepting vulnerability", the author gained insight into the situation of himself and his patients, and obtained support from relatives, friends and social institutions. Finally, he got out of loneliness and found a new order of life for himself and his partner. Through this book, she hopes to share her insights with every reader who is or will be taking care of a loved one: Only by taking off the shackles of love can one pick up the ability to love; when taking care of patients, one must also take care of oneself.
