Features: This is a long elegy that reflects the human condition facing dire straits in the face of familial bonds, celebrated for its outstanding narrative style. When the double-edged sword of familial love recklessly wounds the hearts of those who experience it, how can one actively challenge the barriers of ethics? Perhaps this is the common pain and dilemma faced by people today. The "troubled father" and "troubled son" in the novel leave behind a "flowing moat" that moves readers to tears. In this fateful novel, the love for the "enemy" is so profound that it leads to a tragic outcome of abandoning one's own father. This is precisely the charm of life's prudence that Deng Yiguang tirelessly advocates, and another shining of his intellectual brilliance.
