"I went through a happy menopause in my fifties, and now I'm in my sixties, and I feel that life is fading. Getting old is so lonely." This book is a record of the author's life events after she turned 60. She describes the life and death and aging in a calm and approachable style like a diary. Her mother passed away after four years in the hospital. When sorting out her mother's belongings, she sighed that "seeing off parents is like adolescence, it is a necessary process in life." She found that her mother only had a few things, so the author also hoped to die like her mother without leaving anything behind.
“我五十多岁时度过了快乐的更年期，现在六十多，感觉人生在褪色。老去这件事，实在太寂寞了。”这本书是作者进入60岁后人生大小事的记录，她以日记般平易近人的笔调，淡然地叙述经历的生离死别与衰老。母亲住院四年离去，在为母亲整理遗物时感慨“给父母送终和青春期一样，是人生必经的过程”，发现母亲只拥有一点东西，于是作者也希望可以如母亲般身后不留一物地死去。
