About This Novel
In everyone's life, there are words that have to be said, love that has to be expressed, and farewells that have to be endured. "On the Cloud: 99 Little Things with My Mother" is a story about the young author Baosheng who used words to recall every little thing while living with his mother in the year after his mother died of illness. "99" Is an approximate number, which means that the shortcoming of one hundred will never be made up. In fact, the number of small things recorded is far more than 99. The author's parents divorced when he was five years old, and since then, his strong mother has raised him independently. Although the life of the mother and son in a small southern town is poor, there are many warm and joyful moments. In everyone's life, there are words that have to be said, love that has to be expressed, and farewells that have to be endured. This year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, day and night, my mother's shadow is everywhere. The author records it one by one as a commemoration. Every little thing outlines the mother's tenacious and dedicated life, and also allows us to see that ordinary life year after year has its own power. The warmth above the impermanence of the world evokes the emotions we have lost for a long time.
