   It is a very relaxing and enjoyable novel to read. It is set in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, and you can feel the local characteristics of the language and environmental description. The time spans more than twenty years, and is intertwined with expressions of family, friendship, and love. I personally feel that the author's breakthrough in personal growth and consciousness has two lines, from the change of consciousness of the mother's role in the novel to the awareness of father's responsibility and career planning, as well as the impact on his daughter. No spoilers, I hope you all enjoy watching it!
