Synopsis

This is a book about the death of an old man. Death is a kind of return and the ultimate belonging of human beings. However, how to face death is different for everyone, with different understandings and feelings, and even different ways. This book interviews, personally experiences, and records ten elderly people, truly describing the end of their lives. The author spent three years conducting in-depth observation and experience in many nursing homes. A nursing home is a small society. There is loneliness and care here. There is compassion and innocence, and there is also evil and indifference. Some of them were published in "Beijing Literature" and gained readers' attention.

Reader comments

This book gave me a deeper understanding of the lives and deaths of older adults. Uncle Chen in the book impressed me deeply. He faced aging and forgetfulness alone, but still maintained his love for life. By describing his daily life, the author allows us to see the loneliness and fragility of the elderly, and also makes us feel their strength and optimism. This is a book worth reading. It will make you cherish life more and care for the elderly around you.
