About This Novel
This book is the third volume of "The Collection of Dai Mingxian" and is one of the series of works by Dai Mingxian in Guizhou. Mr. Dai focused on small objects in daily life and selected some calligraphy and painting rubbings, photos and manuscripts, household items, etc. That were passed down from his father's generation and friends. From the perspective of "the history of objects", he narrated the stories of the objects. At the same time, he also silently wrote down the life stories of dozens of relatives, teachers and friends. The book mainly talks about personnel and affairs after the 1950s, and uses related objects to recall stories from earlier years. It covers a large time span, many geographical changes, and many characters. These objects carry the flavor of history and old times, and are silent witnesses to all kinds of life. Dai Lao uses objects in life as a fulcrum to leverage memories. From objects to people, he shows various characters and the scenery of the times behind them, forming a profound connotation of "people and time".
