Lonely Delaware Bay

From literary shock to a rebirth of writing, from deep regret to discovering miracles, Su Xiaokang wants to tell readers: "Life is extremely short and fragile; no matter what, don't give up easily."
I want to grow up with her again.
Joy and sorrow are all childlike, both pain and joy. Everything is her original flavor.
I walked with her along that rebuilt or refitted road, and we counted on our fingers for twenty years. Actually, I was happy.
In 1989, Su Xiaokang was driven into exile by political persecution. In 1993, Su Xiaokang and his family of three were involved in a car accident, leaving his wife, Fu Li, severely disabled. These two devastating life-threatening events shattered not only his physical disability but also his mental and spiritual collapse. Twenty years after the first book, "Preface to the Soul's Tribulation," Su Xiaokang finally released his sequel, "Lonely Delaware Bay." This book, set against the backdrop of the bloody last century, follows the author and the protagonist, Fu Li, as they escape a decade-long trap and retreat to a quiet rural North America to recuperate. The book chronicles her rehabilitation life, the four seasons of the "Spring Valley" in the Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, the Su family's first son's growth, Fu Li's happy big feet and her autistic tendencies; it also explores her own two bouts of depression, remembering her parents' profound love, the emotional upheaval she experienced returning to China to attend a funeral, and her trip to Oslo and her participation in the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. The words linger between sadness and relief, emanating a sincere and earnest poetry of life that is deeply moving.
Author profile Su Xiaokang was born in 1949 by the West Lake. He grew up at the foot of Jingshan Mountain in Beijing and wandered in the Central Plains in his youth. He started with "The Great Revelation", leading the wave of "problematic report literature" and tried to write texts that were once called "Su Xiaokang style", that is, "panoramic", "collective", "three-dimensional" "journalist report literature", and most of them were "hard-hitting" major themes, which often produced explosive effects and fueled the "New Enlightenment Movement"; then, he took the lead in producing "River Feast", which brought together the issues discussed in various fields of society. The various propositions and hypotheses explored were gathered together, transformed into on-screen images and disseminated, resonating deeply with hundreds of millions of people, breaking the limitation that television was only a form of popular culture. The successful integration of thought and vision, passion and rationality created a new television genre and also triggered a "cultural debate" among Chinese people around the world. Suddenly faced with political persecution, he was exiled abroad, and then alienated from society due to a car accident. He lived in loneliness for twenty years. The framework of his literary works that pleaded for the world was dismantled. He was saddened by his wife's recovery and sang softly about his own pain...
