About This Novel

In simple and warm native language, the novel tells a live-action drama about the various mentalities and behaviors of people of all colors in towns and villages around the death of "my uncle" and the absence of a funeral. Because the father of the municipal party secretary was a life-and-death comrade of "my uncle", people who wanted to climb up in the officialdom insisted on having a grand funeral to make the municipal party secretary happy and build a ladder for future promotion; some people think that For a person like "my uncle" who has retired status at the department level, the more grand the funeral, the more money will be collected; but more of the relatives of "my uncle" insist on having a grand funeral for him because of deep-rooted family affection. Only "my uncle"'s son, Ma Jianu, who was implicated in the political disaster of "my uncle" and was severely disabled, stubbornly withstood the pressure from all parties and adhered to his father's will: "No guests, no funerals, no funerals after death", thus protecting the integrity of "my uncle" throughout his life and even to the end.
