Features: The content of this book: When her parents got divorced, she was already nine years old and wisely held back her tears, watching her father turn around resolutely and walk away step by step. Her mother did not scream hysterically but accepted the terms of abandonment and rejection with great calmness, which doubled her father's guilt and gratitude, while also hiding an undeniable sense of astonishment and disappointment. However, only she knew that her mother's hand had dug deep into her frail shoulder, like a burn. That day was rainy, and the raindrops tapped the window with a dull, rhythmic sound. Her mother maintained the posture she had in when her father left, sitting stiffly on the sofa with a frozen, expressionless smile on her face. She whispered, "Mom, I'm hungry." Her mother's gaze flickered, slowly and bewilderedly turning toward the source of the sound.
