My Grandma's Home and My Home

Family bonds and ties to one's hometown, lingering in the heart and haunting one's dreams. I dedicate this book to my father and mother, to my maternal grandparents' family, to my kin in Renhe Village, and to all the young and old, friends and neighbors of Renhe Village. To commemorate the years gone by and make it easier to express how much I miss my family, I chose to tell this story as a novel in the first person.
