Three wonderful combinations in this mortal world: Dad (Pop) is Qian Zhongshu, Mom (Mom) is Yang Jiang, and the daughter is Qian Yuan (Round O). A long, searching dream of finding and losing, a simple and warm scholar family, supporting and helping each other, meeting and parting. This book is divided into two parts. In the first part, Mr. Yang, with his usual wisdom and unique writing style, narrates the emotional experiences of the three of them relying on each other in the last few years through the form of dreams. The second part, with simple yet touching words, records the little-known hardships of this family from 1935, when the couple went to the UK for studies and gave birth to their daughter in Oxford, to 1998, the year Mr. Qian passed away, spanning 63 years. Their journey spans half the globe and crosses half a century of changing fortunes: war, illness, political storms, partings and deaths. No matter how fierce the storm, they supported each other, and the beautiful family became the safest shelter for Mr. Yang’s family. Heaven and earth, yin and yang, yet the deep affection cannot be severed. Mr. Yang, alone by the dim lamp, silently pours out his heart to his loved ones on the other side. As a traditional intellectual, his words are restrained and subtle, with the indescribable affection and sorrow lingering between the lines, moving every reader. The meaning of life does not change with the birth or death of the body. The warm family affection that finds stability above the uncertainties of the world has forever bound them together. The meaning of home is fully explored in Mr. Yang’s book.
