• Book Title: Grandpa
• Author: Jiang Wenli
• Prologue: He just went to heaven, and we will meet in heaven.
The first time I met it was in a bookstore outside high school, it was because of its straightforward words that I decided to take it back and take a good look, because in my own life, my grandfather was a very important person to me, and he hurt me the most. But at this time, my grandfather was no longer with me, and this book may be a gift of memory, walking into their stories to relive my and my grandfather's bits and pieces.

The book is in the first person and tells the childhood story of the author and his grandfather in the 1970s. After that, 3 moving articles and a postscript were added to write about the inheritance of life and the continuation of family affection from birth and growth to maturity.
The text is filled with a strong nostalgic feeling, which is a microcosm of an era, in which the description of family affection is extremely infectious and moving.
"Grandpa, I want to get up!" After a while, Grandpa came in with a hot cotton jacket and pants. I also rushed to the front, jumping out of the bed as fast as I could, and then slipping into the warm and baked cotton jacket and cotton pants. In Grandpa's place, the author does not need to think about anything, as long as he is a happy child, everything is tacitly agreed, and the beauty of the grandfather is filled with the warmth and drying of the house. This is the Chinese expression of family affection of "moisturizing things and silent".
Reading this, I can't help but think of my grandfather, who always appeared in my compositions during that time, the date tree that grew up with me, the muddy path home from school, the two-eight big kick, the grandfather who always held a sugar gourd of different shapes waiting for me at the school gate, all of which constituted my most reluctant memories.
In the past, I always felt that coming to Japan was long, coming to Japan was long, but everyone who came to Japan was not the same as he was... After that, I thought that many things had not been done in time, Grandpa liked to eat fish, and had not done it a few times before; he liked to play chess, and really regretted that he did not let him teach me well; Grandpa also wrote a good brush, and the brigade during the Spring Festival was to let Grandpa help write; Grandpa was the most righteous man I had ever seen, of course, he was also very humorous, and when he wandered around at night, he would pretend to throw caterpillars into my pocket to scare me. He was always smiling, always... It's horrible! His memory in my mind was a little blurred.
I thought that only words can try to remember the bits and pieces of memory, just like the author and his grandfather, the warmth will flow in the text, bringing back to that childhood of ours.
Sincere emotions always touch people's hearts, and although these things happened a long time ago, we still hear that the inheritance of emotions affects us today, it is sincere, simple and romantic. Hopefully, it will remind you of your loved ones and wake up those warm days. I hope it can make you understand the preciousness of your loved ones, know how to cherish the present and the people in front of you, and know how to guard the "love" that is firm and deep.
If he's gone, remember to collect the memories that filled the light; if he's still there, then you're in luck. Please accompany him more and cook him a meal; hold his hand more and walk with him for a while.
