About This Novel

After burying my mother, my father rummaged around the house for a long time and found out the leftover pills that my mother had taken before she was alive, as well as a few pairs of cloth shoes, a few pairs of socks, a few pieces of clothing, including a mahogany comb with broken teeth, and piled them in the middle of the yard. He spent a long time with a lighter before lighting a fire. The clothes and combs burned easily, igniting blue flames and quickly burned to ashes. The soles of shoes are made of plastic, the buttons of clothes should also be made of plastic, and the pills used to treat heart disease are unknown. When combined together, they are extremely difficult to burn and very pungent when soaked. On this early winter evening, our entire Talping village was filled with the smell of this kind of boiled traditional Chinese medicine. The smoke was also very thick, covering half of the village. I say it's my mother. In fact, my mother passed away thirty years ago at the age of thirty-nine, and my father was in his forties.
