Features: A life is composed of a series of unforgettable memories. Why do we cherish nostalgia so much, holding such affection for old songs, old records, and old buildings? It's not because they contain too many elements worth remembering, savoring, or cursing. The author has two mothers. One is the person called "Mom," who is actually the author's adoptive mother. From the age of one, she became the author's true mother. The other is the biological mother who gave the author life, whom the author calls her birth mother. For her birth mother, the author has an inseparable bond of affection but also maintains a calm judgment. Both the birth mother and the adoptive mother are native Shanghaiers, both come from wealthy families, both have experienced emotional turmoil and the pain of marital breakdown, and both are strong mothers who struggle alone against the harsh realities of the world. With a devout heart, the author truthfully records the joys and sorrows of ordinary people who have floated in the whirlpool of history around her. Write simple people simply, for simple people to read. This is a daughter's sincere memory of her two mothers: because of her birth mother's winding, unconventional, and even alluring life experiences, she was given away at the age of one; she relied on her adoptive mother for over fifty years, the emotional pain, closeness and distance, all left her indelible memories. Both mothers came from wealthy families, and the past prosperity of Shanghai nurtured their romantic lives; their independent and unyielding spirit in the face of changing circumstances also forged their noble character. The two mothers shaped a daughter and a life story that twists the heart. Although it is a personal record of emotions, it is a profound book that reveals the mysteries of life.
