Features: This book tells a German story, and whenever I read it, I often think that similar stories have also been or are still unfolding in many Chinese families. How young and beautiful a life suddenly faces the threat of a terminal illness, throwing the entire family into shock and grief. This is one of the most ordinary yet heart-wrenching scenes in the world. No matter who encounters such misfortune, they are fundamentally helpless, and after doing their best, they can only leave it to fate. Thinking about this, I truly feel helpless and heartbroken. This book is known as the European version of the famous scholar Zhou Guoping's masterpiece "Niuniu" — a German mother's memories ten years later. In the summer when cancer took away her 16-year-old daughter, it details every little detail of those unforgettable years: her daughter's smile still appears vividly before her eyes, while her mother's heart has traveled across countless mountains and rivers, passing through all the confusion — believing: hope can create rebirth. As a heart-wrenching and love-filled work, when this mother recalls every little detail of her beloved daughter's struggle with the illness, she experiences pain, fear, separation, helplessness, and even despair, but she has passed through all the confusion. The author of this book is not a writer, just a mother, who narrates a sad family story in a simple and colloquial style, which carries an irresistible emotional impact.
