My Ninety-nine Deaths

About This Novel
A book of life that pays tribute to ordinary people, and a book of death that makes people feel the weight of life! This book takes recording death as its theme. Starting from the concern for life, the author faithfully and equally commemorates the ninety-nine deaths he has experienced in his life, leaving his last words for people, animals or plants. From the "Red Death" who was injured for the first time in his childhood when he opened a slate, to the young man who starved to death in the famine; from the miners who were killed to the prisoners shot in the counter-revolutionary case; from the writer Lu Yao at the last moment of his life, to the tomb of the Red Guards in Chongqing; from the dog killed by rabies to the bear facing extinction... The book uses concise and faithful language to convey the direct experience of facing death as truly as possible. It strives to make this strange experience accommodate and accommodate human nature, and reflect the hardships and comforts of life. "My Ninety-nine Deaths" is not only a death record of the ninety-nine deceased, but also a contemporary Chinese social history that restores their life scenes and living conditions.
