It can be called a companion novel to "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise"! Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan praised it, and famous writers Liang Hong, Zhou Jianing, and Wang Zhanhei highly recommended it! This is a breakthrough work by Gan Yaoming, winner of the United Daily News Literary Award. This is a story that gently brings together a lot of pain. It is related to the cruel reality, but it is particularly warm and healing. When you fall, is there a pair of hands that can catch you? It was she who picked me up from the trash can of life. Before that, I didn't know that I was loved by someone far away. "Three days before I was raped, my dead grandmother came back to find me." The beginning of the novel is shocking. At the time of the violation, my grandmother was hiding in a box that was four times smaller than her own body. Although she tried her best to shake the box, she could not prevent the tragedy from happening. I am like a broken man. Every time I was attacked and defended in court, my muscles and blood vessels were peeling off in pain again and again. But for me, my grandmother actually sacrificed what I couldn't bear to see the most... When we face those needle-like despair, constantly pulling and burning, how should we go on? After many years of writing, Gan Yaoming has written this novel for the first time from the perspective of each of us. The empathy, innocence and warmth he writes between the lines are like a fire, and the various social realities he cleverly incorporates into the novel, such as the elderly living together, mutual aid societies, death and good death, etc., Stir our hearts all the time, but the most touching thing that makes us cry is his touching interpretation of "death is a responsibility". When the end comes, we see a pair of hands rising slowly, using warm emotions and words to pick up those of us who continue to fall in the frozen world of the wasteland.

"How long have you been walking?" "One sun, one moon, one river, six mountains." In the turbulent 1970s in Taiwan, Gu Axia, an Amis girl who had experienced the darkness of human nature, hid in the stairwell of a restaurant for five years. One day, she finally followed Pajiru, the autistic and unable to speak "King of Killers", to her new home: the forest farm "Morishaka". She worked with him to raise funds to reopen the school, visited schizophrenic veterans, paid tribute to teachers who were political victims, and got in touch with the spirit of faith in joining the world to save people. Facing various tests: heavy rains and strong winds, forest fires, mountaineering snowstorms, the little people used their lives to write legendary stories of their own perseverance and gentleness. This book also describes the tragedy of the White Terror of the Chiang Kai-shek regime, as well as the scene of the crazy deforestation of mountain forests after entering the chainsaw era, presenting a sideways view of that little-known island history.

In a Taiwanese village called "Guan Niu Wo", there lived a primary school student "Pa", who was six feet tall and extremely strong. He was adopted by his grandfather Liu Jinfu. In 1940, he was adopted as an adopted son by the Japanese military officer Oni Zhongzo. With a childish and innocent heart, Pa Huai witnessed the entanglements between people, ghosts and gods in troubled times through his psychic yin and yang eyes, as well as the extraordinary experiences of every life as small as dust in the war. A train that can walk without relying on railroad tracks enters the village. The young soldiers never forget to carry their family tombstones wherever they go, no matter they are training, fighting or resting; the old man imprisons himself, and hard leaf buds grow between his toes, spreading into a forest; in the haunted house in the north of the battlefield, Pa sleeps soundly amid the screams of ghosts, and is awakened by the tranquility. "Compared with the injuries and wailing of soldiers on the battlefield, the screams of ghosts are nothing"...
