Features: Many times, both sides realize that they are merely talking to themselves. Neither can truly listen to the surface meaning and deeper implications of the other's words, nor do they carefully consider the other's true intentions, focusing only on their own words. It appears as a dialogue, but in reality, it is still a solitary monologue. After a period of time, there will always be a conversation that makes both sides feel warm, comforting, even excited. Reading some of the texts from the "Two Generations" series, I feel more deeply a touching bond between two generations—a subtle yet profound one; a sad yet comforting connection with a family love that lasts as long as the sun and the moon. – Cao Wenxuan
