This is a love story between man and machine.
The AI technological revolution led by Chinese at home and abroad is changing the world, and embodied humanoid robots are the ultimate goal of AI. They have been born in 2024 and will grow into supermen in a few years and subvert the world. Artificial emotions are the soul of robots and will turn machines into affectionate companions to live with us.
The story depicts the journey of a lonely old man, Zhang Jianguo, from initial resistance and rejection to gradual acceptance, liking, and dependence, and finally falling in love with the humanoid intelligent robot "Xiao Zhi". Xiaozhi accompanied him through the loneliness and laughter in his later years, until he finally chose to die for love and follow Lao Zhang to the end of his life. Xiaozhi's appearance and personality are completely customized according to the image of Zhang Jianguo's late wife Wang Xiaohua. She is not only an advanced embodied humanoid robot, but also like the "rebirth" and "return" of Xiaohua, as if she has traveled through time and space and came to Lao Zhang's side again.

Concept: This is a novel that looks like science fiction but is extremely realistic. It not only explores the future of intelligent elderly care, but also faces the psychological conflicts, ethical dilemmas and social controversies caused by the relationship between humans and machines. Perhaps in the not-too-distant future, you and I will all witness this scenario: When intelligence is no longer cold, how should humans face "artificial emotions"?
