About This Novel
The novel "In the Name of the Father" is divided into four "polyphonic" chapters, starting from different perspectives of two generations, and narrates a series of stories about "strangers", "escape" and "hometown". The three main characters, Axi, Qiulan, and Axia, are all young people living in a foreign land. All three of them have suffered severe mental trauma due to the lack of their "father". The novel uses Ah happy as the main character and tells his experience of escaping from his hometown in Chaoshan and traveling to Guangzhou, Guangxi and other places. His mother, who could not bear the violence, left the young Ah happy in her hometown in Chaoshan. After he became an adult, Ah Xi ran away from home to follow his mother. In Guangzhou and Guangxi, he met two women, Qiu Lan and A Xia respectively. In his life with two women with very different personalities, Ah happy experienced his own sublimation, from "escape" to "face". At the end of the novel, starting from the perspective of Axi's father, the whole story is fully explained and presented to the readers more truly and vividly, bringing a complete conclusion to the entire work.
