"North of Hamburg" is a modern literary novel about the distance between mother and daughter, identity rupture and disillusionment with ideas. The story revolves around a silent mother from China and her mixed-race daughter who grew up in Europe. My daughter lives in the North District of Hamburg - a "white area" that symbolizes coldness, political correctness and abstract goodwill. She shaped her family with ideals: vegetarianism, environmental protection, and moral education, but she gradually lost control in the cracks of reality. The child oscillates between grandma's warmth and mother's ideals, and family relationships are constantly tense.
As refugee incidents, identity anxiety, and marital crises broke out, her daughter fled all the way "further north", only to see her own fragility and loss in the colder wind. In the end, she returned to her mother and re-understood warmth, roots and reality.
This is a novel about the direction away from the mother and the direction away from oneself.
Concept: At the end of the north wind, she understands the true direction of distance and temperature.
