Features: The content of this book: A Beijing off-road vehicle speeds along the rural highway. Bumpy and swaying, it rocks back and forth. The canopy is stuffy and hot, making one feel drowsy. The engine hums, sometimes low, sometimes high, like a series of long-lasting, continuous moans. Is this a painful, tearful moan? Or is it a happy, contented moan? When people are joyful, they also moan. Just like in 1956, when he took four-year-old Dongdong to the cold food store for big ice bricks. After Dongdong bit into the fragrant, sweet, rich, and cool ice brick, didn't he moan happily then? His expression even reminded his father of a time when a kitten caught a mouse. A kitten catching a mouse isn't it also chirping with such self-satisfaction?
