He Never Said He Missed Me
About This Novel
The novel tells the story of a belated reconciliation between Zhou Ting, an urban white-collar worker, and her taciturn father. Zhou Ting has worked hard in the provincial capital for many years and is accustomed to the urban rhythm of efficiency and alienation. The only relationship with her father is a phone call that lasts less than one minute per month. It wasn't until her father was injured at the construction site that she walked into his rental house with a monthly rent of 400 yuan for the first time and discovered that her father had lied to her for three years - he was not a community guard, but had been carrying cement and bricks. In the iron cabinet, forty-six postal money orders were neatly stacked, recording her monthly living expenses for the four years of college; in the old mobile phone, memos were filled with things she wanted to say to her but had never been said. Her circle of friends was only visible to her, and contained every photo she had ever sent. This is a story about "unspeakable love". The father used the most clumsy way to support a family, and the daughter used the most painful way to get to know him again. The work uses delicate and restrained brushstrokes to describe the unspoken affection in Chinese family relationships - some people say love with their mouths, while others prove it with their actions throughout their lives.
