About This Novel
My cousin died. For a long time, I couldn't let go of the pain and sadness in my heart. During the planned economy period in the 1970s, when I was in primary school, I was malnourished and diagnosed with anemia. My cousin gave me blood transfusions for seven years until I graduated from high school. At that time, he was working as an electrician in the county cement factory and doing purchasing part-time. He traveled to the city every now and then to buy cement, cables, transformers and hardware for the factory. He saved two and a half yuan in travel expenses and stayed at my house. In addition to accompanying me to the hospital for blood transfusions and helping my mother with some physical work of pulling briquettes and pickling cabbage (my father had a heart disease), the most exciting thing for me was taking me to the cinema to watch movies. He came to Wuhu many times at that time. Firstly, my aunt died early and my uncle married another woman, so he regarded our home as his own. Secondly, my mother found a partner for him as a car driver in the city textile factory. The two had a very lively conversation. According to my mother, the woman was in poor health, so she chose my cousin who was as strong as an ox.
