Features: There are two kinds of patients in the world, one who wants to get better, and the other who doesn't. Those who try hard to recover may not succeed, but those who give up will inevitably get what they desire. This book is one of Yishu's works, titled "Linked." The story begins like this. Linked remembers that night, when it was raining heavily. The tin roof of the wooden house was like beans being scattered, and wherever there was a leak, a bucket or a plate was placed, making a tinkling sound, as if it were a grand orchestra. Since the previous night, his mood had already been a bit tense. His parents had discussed it for nearly a month and a half: if he got this job, everything would be settled, and the couple would work for the same employer. He would drive, and she would handle the chores, with a fixed income, and they could move into the dorm immediately. The child would also be able to enroll in school next semester. Linked then realized that longing was a rather painful thing. In the evening, his parents dressed neatly and left for Fragrance Mansion, while Linked sat at home waiting. He had been in the south for over two years, and the Lin family had grown accustomed to taking things as they come, though they had their worries, they still smiled. Linked felt that they had been gone for a very long time. He thought that even if they came and went, it should not take more than half an hour at most.
