Father's Basement
The anthology announces its nostalgia plainly and sometimes risks polishing memory too carefully. Its structure provides needed variety. A Beijing worker looks toward his hometown, sisters in Guangzhou navigate fashion, and a Shanghai story returns to the 1990s. Concrete settings keep the shared themes of food and home from becoming empty sentiment.
