Live under Someone Else's Roof
About This Novel
Introduction to the work "Being under the Fence" Sixteen-year-old Chen Shuhan was sentenced to be given to his father after his parents divorced, but he was fostered by his father in the home of his aunt Li Rong. From then on, he fell into the dilemma of being dependent on others. Her father gradually cut off contact and stopped paying her living expenses, and her aunt vented all her dissatisfaction on her. She scolded her every day, smashed things at will, and even let her sleep on an old folding bed on the balcony with a tattered quilt as thin as paper. Even basic food, clothing and warmth became a luxury. Chen Shuhan's only comfort is the photos his mother left behind before she left, the old sweaters she knitted and the notebooks with words of encouragement. She endured silently in the depression, secretly missing her mother, and hiding a faint expectation that her father would change his mind. The work revolves around Chen Shuhan's daily life at her aunt's house, depicting her fears, grievances and struggles with delicate brushstrokes. Through details such as snowy nights, old objects, and held back tears, it shows the young man's longing for love and warmth in troubled times after the original family was broken up, and his weak hope for "home" that has not been extinguished even on the edge of despair.
