About This Novel
Bai Xue only became my sister a year ago. It was an early autumn evening when she and her mother arrived in front of us after a long journey from Zhangye, Gansu Province. My father and I were squeezed into the crowd at the exit of the train station. We, father and son, were in very different moods. I couldn't quite figure out how those two people coming would change our lives. To be honest, I was a little uneasy and even a little scared. But my father was a little too excited. He was holding on to the iron railing at the exit, with his feet on the railing. He was jumping up and down like a child, eager to jump into the platform. Later facts proved that there was a reason for my father's impatience. He was looking forward to a fundamental change in his boring life. He wanted to bring some feminine tenderness into the monotonous life of father and son. Father was right. The woman he was looking forward to was a good woman.
