★A masterpiece by 2021 Nobel Prize winner Gurna ★We are repeating the stories of our parents and cannot escape the reincarnation of our original family. ★A narrative that intertwines true and false, each of us has more or less edited our own life experience [About the author] Abdulrazaq Gurna, a Tanzanian-British writer, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2021 for "his influence on the literature of colonialism and his uncompromising and compassionate insight into the situation of refugees caught between different cultures." Gurner was born in Zanzibar Island on the coast of East Africa in 1948. He moved to the UK in the 1960s to study, and eventually received a doctorate from the University of Kent, where he continues to teach today. His main academic interests are postcolonial writing and discourses related to colonialism, particularly in relation to Africa, the Caribbean, and India. He has served as a judge for the Caine Prize for African Literature and the Booker Prize, and was elected to the Royal Society of Literature in 2006.

The living conditions he shows in the post-colonial era are considered to have important social practical significance. Representative works include "Paradise", "By the Sea", "Afterlife", etc. [Introduction] I felt a hard lump in my chest. The doctor told me it might be a heart disease, and I did have a heart disease.
