We have our own living backgrounds, and we live in this vast village called China, unable to escape the rules of this village. The true background is humanity, a fine net that cannot be captured but is everywhere. Background is not a painting; it cannot be rolled up and taken away, nor can it be hung on other walls. All existence is mutually a background, and everyone is immersed in it. In this book, the author writes down the shocks, desolation, sorrow, and compassion she has experienced. These moving and shocking scenes, through her hands, also resonate with the readers.
