Once published, Long Years won the Duras Prize for Literature in France. The book adopts the way of "no one calls autobiography", which actually reminds others and reflects the evolution of the times with people's shared experiences, thus causing strong resonance in people's hearts.

From international events to food, clothing, housing and transportation, family gatherings and even personal privacy, it is simple and vivid. Reflecting the progress of the world through personal experience is actually a kind of collective memory. The novel spans 60 years, and readers of any age can find their familiar contents and clear memories from it.
