About This Novel
It can be called a companion novel to "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise"! Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan praised it, and famous writers Liang Hong, Zhou Jianing, and Wang Zhanhei highly recommended it! This is a breakthrough work by Gan Yaoming, winner of the United Daily News Literary Award. This is a story that gently brings together a lot of pain. It is related to the cruel reality, but it is particularly warm and healing. When you fall, is there a pair of hands that can catch you? It was she who picked me up from the trash can of life. Before that, I didn't know that I was loved by someone far away. "Three days before I was raped, my dead grandmother came back to find me." The beginning of the novel is shocking. At the time of the violation, my grandmother was hiding in a box that was four times smaller than her own body. Although she tried her best to shake the box, she could not prevent the tragedy from happening. I am like a broken man. Every time I was attacked and defended in court, my muscles and blood vessels were peeling off in pain again and again. But for me, my grandmother actually sacrificed what I couldn't bear to see the most... When we face those needle-like despair, constantly pulling and burning, how should we go on? After many years of writing, Gan Yaoming has written this novel for the first time from the perspective of each of us. The empathy, innocence and warmth he writes between the lines are like a fire, and the various social realities he cleverly incorporates into the novel, such as the elderly living together, mutual aid societies, death and good death, etc., Stir our hearts all the time, but the most touching thing that makes us cry is his touching interpretation of "death is a responsibility". When the end comes, we see a pair of hands rising slowly, using warm emotions and words to pick up those of us who continue to fall in the frozen world of the wasteland.
