[Introduction] Philip Roth, who is good at weaving epics of human nature in novels, unexpectedly published a documentary work - "Legacy - A True Story" in 1991. The focus of his vision is no longer the vast society and grand propositions, but Ross's recently deceased father, an ordinary and humble old Jewish man. In the days before his death, his life was like a river soaked in trivial past events, flowing half-dark before the eyes of him and his son, a writer. The relationship between father and son has never been so close yet strange, both flesh-and-blood and yet estranged. When the life of a loved one enters the countdown, all the thinking and torture, all the fear and sadness, make people breathless - even if this person is Philip Roth, who is famous for his coldness.
