"Life, thank you for making me so happy." The ninety-six-year-old great-grandmother wrote these words when she was dying. These last words have since been regarded by the family as a summary of their ideal life, but they have enveloped the family like a curse. The sudden death of Cheng Sheng, the eldest son who was so excellent that he was almost perfect, made his gentle mother addicted to alcohol. The whole family also changed suddenly and almost collapsed. In the long years, they once lost the ability to love and be loved. It was not until many years later that the family reunited under the smokey wind in May, and they finally reached peace with death. The so-called happy life may be ruthlessly shattered by fate at any time. Fortunately, no matter what, the heart that has been torn by fate will eventually see the light of day. Eimi Yamada, winner of Japan's Naoki Award and Literary Award, has another blockbuster masterpiece after "The Love of a Sage".
