This is a long novel describing the relationship between father and son, but Wang Shuo did not fall into the stereotype of touching or even inciting people with emotion, but described the unique relationship between father and son through his own unique perspective.
Ma Linsheng, who divorced his wife in middle age, is a quasi-intellectual, at least this is how he defines himself. Under the double pressure of age and economy, he struggles to maintain his image painstakingly. For this reason, he Must pay attention to, at least pay attention to one thing: clean. He is a clerk in a bookstore. He is a little bit pretentious but lives a useless life. He is full of fantasy (fantasizing about meeting a girl who came to the bookstore again) but unrealistic. In order to resolve the increasingly tense relationship with his son, he decided to call him a brother and friend; Qi Huaiyuan, the person his son introduced to him, the mother of his son's classmate, wanted to be close but unwilling (because of that girl). Wang Shuo portrays the image of a young intellectual living in various contradictions with his consistent humor and ridicule, which makes people both laugh and sad.
