Wen Yining never imagined she would see Lu Jiming again after seven years at a meeting for a public welfare project.
He was cool and distant in his suit, a renowned architect.
She was calm and composed, an editor at a children’s publishing house.
To everyone else, they were just old acquaintances who hadn’t seen each other in years.
Only Wen Yining knew that she had a seven-year-old daughter at home named Xiaoman.
It was a name she and Lu Jiming had chosen together many years ago.
The first time Lu Jiming heard the name “Xiaoman,” his expression changed at once.
Later, he asked her, “Wen Yining, is Xiaoman my daughter?”
After a long silence, she said only, “That year, I waited for you too, but you never came.”
Seven years ago, she left alone with their child.
Seven years later, he returned with the past in tow.
This time, no one would tear them apart again.
After reading this novel, I can no longer stand all the novels about dribbling a ball and running thousands of miles to chase his wife. This book overturned the content of those novels I read before. What I saw in those novels was that the father knew the existence of the child, and the father immediately recognized the child, and then the child quickly integrated into the family. But it has not been taken into account that the child has lived alone with his mother for so many years, some of the cognitions he has formed during this period, some of his life habits, and so many years have been missed. Can the father and the child really quickly accept each other and integrate into each other's lives with just a paternity test certificate? This book gave me some new inspiration and thinking. The novel "Running with a Ball" is not just a simple mindless novel; in real life, we see information about children disseminated in public media, including but not limited to the popular parent-child content on various media platforms today. During the filming process, are we fully respecting children and respecting their individual independence?
It's a very eloquent book. The author's writing style is very good and very delicate. I hope to see more works from the author in the future. Come on.
Oh my God, it's so beautiful. It feels like a book that you can sit down quietly and read slowly. It's so beautiful. I've never read a book on this subject before.
