About This Novel
This winter, I dined with the Song brothers every night in the cold drizzle in Muchuan, and drank tea under the hibiscus tree by the creek in front of our door when the sun was shining. Facing the rolling green mountains, I wrote "A Chronic Illness" and tried to use the time-space machine of "Mourning" to create a visible time-space box, and it succeeded. And I was amazed by the perfection of the way it was expressed. In this race against death, we see more clearly than in "Mourning" every detail of the death process of the tenants, the kiln owner's family, the father, and the men who dug the well, and every detail is fatal, an inevitable death trap that neither oneself nor others can escape. All the details are presented to us at the same time, and each detail is divergent. In my opinion, these deaths themselves are not important, what is important is the way in which they are written.
