About This Novel

My father's third anniversary is coming, and according to the custom of my hometown, I have to "celebrate it". In my hometown, after a person dies, the first, third, fifth and tenth anniversaries must be "celebrated". "After a while" means to ask Yin and Yang to do things and chant sutras to achieve salvation. My father worked as a long-term laborer when he was seven years old and suffered a lifetime of hardship. On the day of his death, he plowed the fields all morning. We have raised eight brothers and sisters throughout our lives, and each of them has a family, a career, and successors. He has never killed a bird in his life, and when he sees chickens pecking at each other and dogs fighting, he still has to persuade them to stay away. What does he need to transcend? However, I have to remember that "passing for a while" is a rule, a etiquette, and a ritual. People need a sense of ritual. If you think about it carefully, "passing by" is meaningful and indispensable. The deceased's friends and fellow villagers from all over the world will come to burn paper and incense, eat and drink, and talk about the deceased. This is an irreplaceable memory and an extension of the gratitude and respect of the children and grandchildren.
