Seven Days

Chen Zhigang woke up in the hospital bed and was told that he had lost a memory. In that memory, his wife Li Mei fell to her death, and he was listed as the subject of investigation by the police. During the long period of coma, his brain built a sophisticated world for himself - where time circulated on a seven-day cycle, he witnessed his wife falling over and over again, interrogated the man related to her over and over again, and revised the sequence of events over and over again. This is a story about crime and punishment, memory and self-deception. People can choose to forget, but the body remembers all pain. Some dreams are false, but the pain is real. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
