From Million-Copy Bestselling Author Si Yi
Bestselling author Si Yi's 10th anniversary milestone work 
Film/TV adaptation confirmed

 

A masterful fantasy-healing novel─── "If someone could truly help you find the lost memories of your loved ones, what would you want to know? "

 

In a quiet, unremarkable corner of the city, a modest flower shop quietly blooms: asides from selling flowers, it runs a secret business, finding memories of the deceased for those who still remember.

 

Ring-a-ling-ling───

 

"I heard this place can help people find memories. Is that true?" Every heartbroken soul who steps into the Memory Flower Shop can't help but ask this question.
Shop owner Cao Xueyi lost his mother in an accident when he was young. For years, he has been trying to piece together the complete picture of that day. In the process, he accidentally discovers that through personal belongings, he can smell memories and see the past. While searching for his mother's memories, the flower shop gradually becomes an urban legend known as the "Memory Flower Shop." One by one, heartbroken people come seeking memories of their loved ones: those who left without goodbye, those they couldn't bid farewell to, those who suddenly vanished...

 

"I want to know why he committed suicide." "I want to know what really happened to my son." "What I'm looking for is a name." "I want to fulfill my sister's dream." "I want to know if he lived a happy life."

 

Those left behind seem to spend their entire lives waiting for that missing "goodbye" owed by those who departed.

 

Bestselling author Si Yi once again constructs a fantastical yet authentic world, responding to all forms of sorrow and loss with tenderness, offering a glimmer of comforting warmth in reality. Whether it's depression, migrant spouses, school bullying, or domestic violence... all are skillfully woven into the narrative. The Memory Flower Shop doesn't exist to find memories of the deceased, but to help the living repair their memories. It adds new memories for those trapped in the past, like mending and restoring broken recollections.

 

Through these deeply moving stories, the author seeks to explore a fundamental question: when pain is an inevitable part of being human, how do we learn to carry our enduring sorrows with grace?
