About This Novel
"Beautiful Building" begins with a beautiful misunderstanding. When a friend wrote to me, he mistakenly wrote the Meili Building where "I" lived as "Beautiful Building". Because the letter was received on time, "I" did not correct the mistake. The beautiful building is home to many beautiful neighbors. Mrs. Luo always has seasonal window grilles on her door. Aunt Mai taught me how to wrap bread in paper soaked in water heated by the sun on the rooftop. The curly-haired neighbor has two camphor wood boxes. He puts the books he buys into one box and throws them into the other after reading them. The vendors downstairs pushed wooden carts to the street to sell steaming chee cheong fun... The elevator of the beautiful building failed, which triggered a series of stories of residents helping each other. Stairs are an upright object, bright and not ostentatious. Walking on them gives you a down-to-earth feeling. Store workers carried rice bags and climbed up to the fourteenth floor. Neighbors helped send Aunt Mai, who was ill, down the stairs. Walking in the dark stairwell, a long queue passed candlelight like fireflies. "Beauty" is a misunderstanding, but also a viewing angle and a beautiful wish. Xixi uses the help and care of the residents of Meili Building to show the beauty of this kind of big family. Regardless of the size of the place where people live, they are concerned about the entire community or city, that is, a home in a broad sense.
