Reader comments
This book reminds me of the time I spent enjoying the shade in the yard with my family when I was a child. It's so heartwarming! I particularly like the short stories about family life in the book, which feel like they are happening around me. Moreover, Grandpa Wang Zengqi's writing is so interesting, which made me very happy to read it. I think this book taught me to cherish the time I spend with my family and learn to discover the small beauties in life.
Wang Zengqi's prose essays have always been very readable. Although many of them have already been planted in the human world, the human world has a flavor, and life is slow-cooked and repetitive, but it still brings the same warmth when re-reading it. This article still adds the memories of his son and two daughters, and the warmth of home instantly permeates the text. His prose is nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun. Eating means daring to be the first in the world. Drinking means taking in all comers. Playing is integrated into his life and work. Open-mindedness and cheerfulness run through it all. Music means the childishness of contact with nature and the childlike innocence of old age.
Very detailed writing style and rich life experience. Highly recommended.
