I love this work. The writing is clean and simple, straightforward but full of the irreparable sadness, accompanied by beautiful imagery. As the author once mentioned in an interview, "The act of writing itself is the most important. I write for the sake of writing. For a pure literary writer, there are things I need to express, things I must write down or I can’t be at ease.(其實寫作,寫這件事情就是最重要的。我是為寫而寫,我想對於一個純文學的寫作者來講,我有一些東西我想要寫出來,我不吐不快)"
This book portrays broken family , fragmented homes, absent father, the loneliness and pain of adolescence, the ordinariness of adulthood, and the changes of an era. The author conveys the most honest and bitter pasts in the most sincere way possible.
