Reunion Dinner

What is home? It's a table of dumplings on New Year's Eve, it's the eyes in the crowd looking for you, it's the little warm light that stays on for you after everyone has left. This novel describes the sadness of a large contemporary traditional family from prosperity to decline, as well as the tenderness of countless ordinary families who still care about each other despite being separated. When the fireworks dissipated and everyone went their separate ways, the quarrels and laughter at the dinner table, the tears and silence in front of the hospital bed, and the unreachable phone calls late at night in a foreign country were all called "home".
