This book is Zheng Zhi's latest novel. The owner of the "Cinnabar Palm" is Zhu Yuhuan, who, at the age of 65, shattered the skull of a young man with her bare hands. Investigative journalist Wang Runnan, also Zhu Yuhuan's former neighbor, attempts to uncover the motives behind Zhu Yuhuan's crime in order to write a feature article—why did she kill her son-in-law? How did it all happen? Is the mental illness defended by her lawyer real? Through correspondence with Zhu Yuhuan and interviews with relevant people, Zhu Yuhuan's life story gradually unfolds. Through analyzing the Zhu Yuhuan case, Wang Runnan is also able to re-examine his own life. Fate ebbs and flows, life continues. One person's unreserved honesty at the end of their life ultimately becomes another person's courage to start anew.
