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. It is a reflection by the bedside of the cradle and the graveside. For the author and his wife, Niu Niu's story is the most beautiful yet tragic story in their lives. In this book, the author writes about Niu Niu's cuteness and pitiability, the love and sorrow of raising her under the shadow of death, and his reflections by the bedside of the cradle and the graveside. 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 power. I realized that nothing in this world can sever the bond between parents and their child, not even death. This thread of attachment is tied to your distant, departed little body, piercing through the barrier of life and death, reaching into another world. Though we know you are no longer here, we still miss you as if you were a missing wanderer.
