Our Old Things
by Li Hanrong
About This Novel
The first essay on the theme of utensils, a dialogue across time and space. A hoe, a well rope, a whetstone... These simple old objects were once partners in my father's hands, the support of my mother's life, and the epitome of the scenery of my hometown. They tell the deep affection of the land and the stories of the years, and also engrave the joys and sorrows and perseverance of generations. Li Hanrong uses poetic brushstrokes to imbue these old objects with souls, allowing them to breathe again in words. They are silent, but they carry the destiny and dignity of a generation. Opening this book is like opening a door of memory, touching those fading times, and feeling the human fireworks and eternal warmth behind the artifacts.
