One afternoon when Maizi put down the sickle, the weather was sultry and there was no wind. At around five o'clock, the fifth brother was busy in the fields. The fifth sister-in-law ran over in surprise and shouted to the fifth brother, "The child is his father!" Our uncle is overturned! Fifth Brother's internal organs seemed to have been hollowed out. He shuddered and burst into tears. My uncle is a man of social status. Lao Ba Road, who participated in the revolution in 1940, is a retired cadre who enjoys department and bureau-level treatment. Such veterans who participated in World War II are very rare in the world, and leaders at all levels are very concerned about their lives. The management of my uncle after his retirement will not belong to our city, nor our county, nor our town. But for more than ten years, our town has visited veteran cadres during the New Year and holidays, and my uncle has never been left behind.

In simple and warm native language, the novel tells a live-action drama about the various mentalities and behaviors of people of all colors in towns and villages around the death of "my uncle" and the absence of a funeral. Because the father of the municipal party secretary was a life-and-death comrade of "my uncle", people who wanted to climb up in the officialdom insisted on having a grand funeral to make the municipal party secretary happy and build a ladder for future promotion; some people think that For a person like "my uncle" who has retired status at the department level, the more grand the funeral, the more money will be collected; but more of the relatives of "my uncle" insist on having a grand funeral for him because of deep-rooted family affection. Only "my uncle"'s son, Ma Jianu, who was implicated in the political disaster of "my uncle" and was severely disabled, stubbornly withstood the pressure from all parties and adhered to his father's will: "No guests, no funerals, no funerals after death", thus protecting the integrity of "my uncle" throughout his life and even to the end.
