Ten years ago, Li Ge had a daughter. He was nicknamed Pippi after the "Pippi Longstocking" who was not afraid of the sky or the earth. From then on, her life slowly changed from "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" to "Everything Sticks to Him". The woman who could travel alone without saying hello disappeared. This book is about this transformation. In the book, she writes about her daughter Pippi, a little girl who loves birds, nature and painting, showing her agility and sensitivity; she writes about her mother, who is virtuous and loves her family, cherishes things and people, and is a gentle companion; she writes about her girlfriends who are mothers, each with her own unique attitude and excitement. Against the background of Pippi's paintings and handicrafts that only children can create, Li Ge's words seem to be different.

"The Fruit of Time" is the writer Li Ge's reading and life essays. It is divided into two parts: "Ye Zhou" and "Negishi": "Ye Zhou" contains Li Ge's literary criticism: from the ambiguous aesthetics of the French New Wave to the implicit human beauty of the East in "Snow", from Nagai who walks slowly and loves slowly. From the lotus breeze to the wandering Naipaul, from Gu Jingzhou who has "the sadness of a partridge and the mood of picking chrysanthemums" to Ye Jiaying of classical literary heart... From the breath of words to the pulse of the city, from the body temperature of books to the taste of vegetarian food, in countless moments of spiritual awakening, listen to the echo deep in your heart. When she arrived at "Negishi", Li Ge focused her writing on daily life: a pair of glasses, a pencil, Yun's name, a pot... In her writing, ordinary daily life is also full of unique and exquisite interest. People and books have become intertextual and dependent on each other. Li Ge has condensed her reading and aesthetic experience into a book, which complements her own growth trajectory and finds poetry in ordinary days.

They are sharp cold blades in turbulent times, and they are also soft cats, romantic, proud, and loners. Yourcenar, the image spokesperson of free will, Beauvoir who fought for the legalization of abortion, George Sand who wore trousers, Woolf who wanted to buy flowers by himself, McCullers, Eileen Chang, Duras, Frida, Lessing... When wild primitive desires collided with the order of social life, Rigo pointed out the life sentiment behind their works with a keen female point of view. There are also Maugham, Tolstoy, Haruki Murakami, Gide, Hemingway... She analyzes the involvement and penetration of gender relations, explores the extreme struggles of talented writers in extraordinary situations, ponders the involvement and influence of different writers in different civilizations, peeks into the profound meaning behind cultural gossip, and captures those thoughts as delicate and precise as needle tips.

We are all trapped in a huge and trivial life, and we all cherish concrete and small happiness. The work of Li Ge's transformation over ten years, describes the trivial and complicated daily life, the wear and tear day after day, and the dilemma of being a woman. When life is pushed to the edge, let us use simple and basic forms to make life simple, simple, and simple again.
