Features: Grandpa, a solitary traveler who has walked through life in mystery and silence; Grandma, an illiterate peasant woman filled with wisdom and conscience, this pair of bizarrely intertwined life-and-death adversaries forms the tragic and heavy main thread of the book. Alongside this thread, we occasionally see the unforgettable figures of Uncle Third, Ximei, Aunt Second, and Aunt Third. Especially unforgettable is the little sprite—Mei, who vanished like a meteor. As well as heroes like Mo Xiong, Gu Pai, and Lu Zhiying, who shared life and death with Grandpa in the era of blood and rain. Together, they form the sacred sacrifices on the red altar of the Chinese Revolution. Through the perspective of Grandpa's granddaughter—"I," "my" confusion and bewilderment, "my" entanglement of great love and hatred, create a world that an ordinary person cannot imagine or understand. After reading it, one is filled with sighs and reflections, and it makes one contemplate the revolution that nearly spanned the entire 20th century and continues to this day.
