Protagonist: Lin Niannian (5 years old, cute and sensitive, accepts death, regards "Mom says to be good" as the rule of life, likes to hide secrets in the belly of old puppets)
Core point of abuse: The child's "understanding" is used to contrast the pain - not understanding "cancer" means that the mother will sleep for a long time, not understanding "debt" means that the father will disappear, not understanding "adoption" means that he will never go home again, not understanding "abandonment" means that he is not lovable
Emotional anchor: There are "symbolic objects" throughout the text (the strawberry scarf knitted by my mother, the orange-flavored hard candy bought by my father, the crayon given by the kindergarten teacher). Every appearance is accompanied by a cycle of "possession - loss".
Core psychological acquisition: Accumulate "survival wisdom" in brokenness, from "depending on others" to "self-support", every bit of growth is stained with tears, no forced healing, only the resilience of "survive"
