The themes of Tao Wenyu's novels are mostly based on the background of Suzhou where he lives. There are such stories as "Husband and Wife", "Watching on the Sixth Floor" and "Tomorrow Night TV", which are about parents, and there are also chivalrous ones such as "Hanshan Temple" and "The Way of Chess". Regardless of the subject matter, Tao Wenyu can use poetry and prose-like language to narrate trivial matters of life and human legends with ease, arouse readers' love and cherishment of life, and arouse readers' emotional resonance.
Reader comments
This book reminded me of my own relatives and friends. The descriptions of trivial matters in life and human legends made me feel the same way. Just like what is written in the book, we always realize the passage of time when we are approaching the end of the year. I think we all need to cherish the people around us and leave no regrets. The author's writing is beautiful, as if chatting with a friend, making people feel warm.
