Falling Flowers in Flowing Water
About This Novel
The wife of a famous writer from a well-known family, after experiencing social changes from liberation, the Cultural Revolution, reform and opening up to today, she was forced to build an invisible wall in her heart. Behind the politeness, what causes indifference and alienation between relatives? There is a legend in my mother's hometown in the South: The souls of people who have experienced life-or-death illness are as likely to fly away as frightened birds. You must be careful, and you must pay even more attention, because when they return to the human world, there may be something else living in their bodies. My aunt Zhou Xuan underwent colon cancer resection at the age of 88. On the third day after being released from the intensive care unit, I came to the hospital. The half-closed curtains blocked the sunlight, and she lay there, her pale face shadowed in the darkness. I put a large bunch of lilies on the bedside and said hello to her. She was silent. The unusual silence made me wonder if she was sleeping.
