並列摘要

Li Yu and Guo Songfen have been with each other for 40 years. They were family members and even literary soulmates, and they spent the best years of their lives together. Guo Songfen passed away before Li Yu, leaving Li Yu with a deep sense of nostalgia, which is entrusted to the novel, and at the same time retains a sense of eternity through the text. Fiction is a kind of fictional text, but behind it are the author's spiritual values and the reflection of his personal life history. This collection of short stories, which was reorganized and re-published one year before his death, is of great significance. In addition to reminiscing about the beauty of old times, it also reflects the author's belief that through his own efforts to overcome the difficulties of survival, his life will be able to reach a new level and transcend new horizons. The author analyzes the various existential dilemmas of the fictional characters, such as creative exhaustion, anxiety, depression, and suicide, which may have been encountered by the author, and may also be encountered by the author as a human being. Li Yu tries to deal with the heavy issues with a light and graceful brush, giving the predicaments a chance to revitalize and raise the spirit of a new and hopeful possibility, which would be the beginning of a new life after a hard experience.
