Make an Appointment at Dusk
General Fiction人约黄昏
(australia) Xin Yimei (uk) Gary Temple
"A Date at Dusk" is a documentary work that faithfully records the ordinary lives of the two authors from their acquaintance, love to marriage, and their relationship for more than ten years. This is a natural presentation of the life process and a moving piece of music composed with love. The book vividly recounts the bumpy roads that the two men traveled in the first half of their lives by interweaving narratives and reminiscences. After reading it, people believe that they are indeed involved; otherwise, after experiencing a long and stormy life, two people who are far apart in the eastern and western hemispheres, how could they, over fifty years old, cross thousands of mountains and rivers, cross the gap between Eastern and Western culture and personality, and successfully build a bridge of hearts and help each other! Happy families are all alike, and every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. In fact, this famous saying also makes sense in reverse: all unhappy families are similar, and happy families each have their own happiness. Today, wars between countries and people due to differences in culture and values are increasing. Our two authors were able to successfully seek common ground while reserving differences in culture and values, embracing each other warmly and never leaving. This cannot but be said to be a kind of happiness. "A Date at Dusk" will prove to readers: As long as we learn how to cultivate the instinct of love and kindness given to us by God, love and kindness in human nature will definitely be rewarded.
