Features: "In Memory of God's House" is named as a novel but is not a traditional novel. It does not emphasize chronological order, nor is it divided into chapters by logic. It lacks a consistent plot or characters with progressive personalities. The protagonist is a 57-year-old pianist who, through reviewing three scenes in his life, explores three themes: parents, God, and music. The protagonist cherishes his mother, whom he never met in his lifetime. His father treats him coldly but also nurtures him into a world-renowned pianist. Whether it is the deep longing for his parents or the introspective contemplation of God and the soul, readers can feel the omnipresent power of music. The poetic language, picturesque scenes, and profound insights into music are the main threads running through the book. Missing his mother's former home and missing God's house is, in essence, missing the house of music.
