Old Things Live Forever
by Fu Fei
About This Novel
"Old Objects Live Forever" takes the familiar objects of the author's early life in his hometown as narrative objects, and tells the stories of the people hidden in them. For example, "Bed" describes the true feelings of life, old age, illness and death; "Bowl" tells the story of the aunt's request for family affection before her death; "The Table of the Eight Immortals" expresses the praise of traditional human relations. In this book, objects are carriers of changes in personnel and events, as well as expressions of emotions. The language is simple, smart, and exciting. "Every historical object has an old friend living inside. We can smell the old friend's breath, hold the old friend's hand, and touch the old friend's cheek." "Every historical object is a vessel that holds our past, present and future."
