I Am Like the Stars, and You Are Like the Moon

When Bi Luoxi was one year old, her mother died. Her father, Bi Yankang, married Shen Qingyun, who was fifteen years older than Luoxi, and never came home again. Luoxi was raised by her grandfather, who took wonderful care of her. She grew up cheerful and outgoing… That was the last time she felt her father’s warmth up close. From then on, he became the occasional voice on the other end of the phone, the carefully wrapped but never-quite-fitting clothes he sent for the holidays, and the unfinished words her grandfather sighed into thin air: “Your dad, he…” This novel and its characters are entirely fictional.
