This manuscript marks the debut prose collection of Wang Jibing, a leading voice in "amateur writing." Framed by the author's return to his hometown for the third-anniversary memorial of his mother's passing--serving as both the emotional core and narrative thread--the book unfolds a profound and tender tapestry of family memories amid grief and reflection. Charting the rugged course of his own half-wandering life, Wang transforms his personal journey into a testament to the resilience of an entire generation. The pages pulse with the intricate emotions of a son--love, sorrow, and remorse entwined--while vividly capturing the indomitable life force of ordinary people, like grass sprouting through rocky crevices. This is an honest account from the deepest trenches of lived experience, as well as a literary homecoming imbued with both warmth and power.
