Eternal Child
General Fiction永恒的孩子
(france) Philippe Forrest
In 1996, I had two fathers, one in China and one in France. One is a philosopher, the other is a literary critic, and they almost simultaneously completed the biography of their beloved daughter who lost her life to illness. Niu Niu's father Zhou Guoping wrote "Niu Niu: A Father's Notes", and Polina's father Philip Forrest wrote "The Eternal Child". The two fathers, who have never met each other, speak different languages, and have accepted different civilizations but have the same experience, reveal their common humanity to us. The two books are full of poetry and wisdom, and are best-sellers in two countries with different social systems and cultural backgrounds. This book won the French Femina First Novel Award.
