“Once, he was like a big tree that sheltered our whole family.”- Mdm LiLi, my mother. A story about a person in his late life, of how he influenced the dynamics of his huge family. Contrary to his past, when he was rich and powerful, he is now frail, abandoned, and alone.

This is a book that tells the final days of that old man, who I love.
