About This Novel
A friend in Nanjing called me two days ago to tell me that Lao Jie was dead. I sat in front of the window holding the phone and didn't speak for a long time. Although Lao Jie is not related to me, he has lived in the brothel in our yard for six years. He comes in and out like my family. Even my dog treats him as a member of the family and licks his feet and hands. Especially after I turned 40, I suddenly felt that being able to live in a courtyard for six years really required a kind of fate. There is a saying that "a hundred years of cultivation can lead to crossing in the same boat, and a thousand years of cultivation can lead to sleeping together." Not to mention sleeping on the same pillow, just saying that it takes a hundred years to cross the same boat, so six years of getting along will probably take hundreds of years of practice. Lao Jie is a rightist who was transferred to our team. From the moment I entered the village to the last time I left, I thought it was necessary for me to write this article.
