Features: Soon after Niu Niu was born, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness. With this illness, she spent a short, yet incredibly adorable and pitiful, 18 months. In this book, Zhou Guoping writes about his daughter Niu Niu's cuteness and pitiability, as well as the love and sorrow his wife and he experienced while nurturing her under the shadow of death, their reflections beside both the cradle and the grave. For the author and his wife, Niu Niu's story is the most beautiful yet tragic one in their lives. In this book, the author writes about Niu Niu's cuteness and pitiability, the love and sorrow they felt while raising her under the shadow of death, and his reflections beside the cradle and the grave. For a man, only the title of father is sacred. All worldly titles can be attained through human effort, but to become a father requires divine strength. I realized that nothing in this world can sever the bond between parents and their child, not even death. The thread of this bond is tied to your distant, small body, piercing through the barrier of life and death, reaching into another world. Though we know you no longer exist, we still miss you as if you were a missing wanderer.
