About This Novel
My grandmother Zhao Songqin left a suitcase. The box is very old and the handles have fallen off. Looking at the trademark, it is made in Shanghai and dates from the 1950s and 1960s. The box was in a mess, with everything in it: a crystal mirror; a few calligraphy and paintings that belonged to my grandma; and her manuscript, the novel about Nalan Xingde; old photo albums, scattered old photos... I sat on the small bench and slowly packed the box. Everything was touched by my grandma. Su Zi said: "From the perspective of changes, the world can no longer change in an instant." That is to say, from the perspective of change, the world is changing every moment - such as existence, such as life and death, such as my grandma and my mother. They used to be the most beloved existences in my life, but now they are gone. Su Zi also said: "From the perspective of its unchanging nature, both things and myself are endless."
