Why Call Home
by Hua Mei
About This Novel
This book collects 12 non-fiction stories by Hua Mei, which faithfully records an atypical family that embodies today's rural areas in many aspects: a weak but honest father, a mother bought for 600 yuan, and an adopted abandoned baby daughter, "I". The father was weak, never received maternal love in his life, and suffered the hardships of failure, but he insisted that "girls must also study" and changed "my" destiny; the mother was timid and was "sold" three times in her life. The time she succeeded in escaping, she voluntarily returned for "me", a daughter who was not her biological daughter; fate was cruel, but the village in the novel is still beautiful. The home they pieced together eventually fell apart, but the word "home" has been reinterpreted by them. After reading it, the question of "what to call home" is left in people's minds.
