Below the title page are the red clay seals of Qian Zhongshu, Yang Jiang, and Qian Yuan. Bound in deep blue hardcover, it holds even greater collectible value. 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 journey of searching and longing, 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 family of three relying on each other in the last few years through the form of dreams. The second part records, in simple yet touching words, the little-known hardships of this family from 1935, when the couple went to the UK for studies and gave birth to their beloved daughter in Oxford, until 1998, the year Mr. Qian passed away, spanning 63 years. Their footsteps crossed half the globe, traversing half a century of changing. War, illness, political storms, partings and farewells—no matter how fierce the storm, they supported each other. Their beautiful family has become a safe haven for Mr. Yang and his family. Heaven and earth, yin and yang, yet the bond of love cannot be severed. Mr. Yang, alone by the dim lamp, silently pours out his heart to the loved ones on the other side. As a traditional intellectual, his words are restrained and subtle, yet the unspoken affection and sorrow permeate the text, moving every reader. The meaning of life does not change with the birth or death of the body. The warm family bonds, stable above the uncertainties of the world, have forever united the three of them. The meaning of home is fully explored in Mr. Yang's book.
