About This Novel
"Girl and Eternal Life" is a collection of essays by the writer Cao Bai, including 14 essays such as "The Writer", "The Girl", "The Dreamer", "The Missing" and "The Prodigal Son". It uses the changes in fate of relatives and friends around "me" as the description object, which together constitute "my" youth memory and family memory. Xiao Mo, a playmate who commits suicide by jumping into a well, a teacher whose life trajectory is constantly changing, an uncle who is a manual laborer but constantly wants to "get rich", a cousin who suddenly disappears, a cousin who is ill-fated but still works hard to live, and a ninety-one-year-old grandmother and "libertine" brother who sells scriptures. Cao Bai's writing is sincere and touching, and aphorisms frequently appear in the book. It is deeply inspiring for girls in their growing years and young women who have not been in society for too long.
