"Chasing the shadow of the disappearance of his parents", our protagonist searches all the way from the rich and luxurious London upper class, and finally returns to Shanghai under the gunfire of the Japanese invaders. This was by no means a tender homecoming. In this city that was once bustling with traffic and is now full of smoke and smoke, what awaits him is a dark secret and a cruel truth, and his Sherlock Holmes-like fairy tale life will be reduced to ruins like his childhood hometown... The new edition includes Kazuo Ishiguro's Nobel Prize-winning speech, and reads the Nobel Prize-winning writer's writing outlook and growth history in one volume.
