A MAN WHO BUILT A CITY OF BRIDGES MUST NOW FIND A WAY TO RECONNECT HIS OWN DISSOLVING MIND.
From the shaded alleys of 1970s Guangzhou to the frenetic, dust-filled construction of Shenzhen, Chan Kwok Yung and Li Yi Mei build a life together on a foundation of love, sacrifice, and shared dreams. Yung, a brilliant engineer, raises highways and skyscrapers, his ambition a testament to the enduring structures he hopes to leave behind. May, his heart, fills their home with music, her melodies a quiet anchor in a rapidly changing world.
They find their future in Hong Kong, a city of dazzling promise where they raise two children who inherit their dual passions: Winnie, a razor-sharp lawyer who builds cases, and Jason, a tech prodigy who builds worlds within machines. The Chan family stands as a monument to the unyielding spirit of those who build a life far from home, their success a testament to a love that has weathered every storm. But when a tragic accident on a construction site shatters Yung's body, it triggers a far more insidious collapse. The fall accelerates a devastating neurodegeneration, and the man who could recall every blueprint with perfect clarity begins to lose the names of his own children. The intricate map of his life begins to unravel, leaving his family grasping at the fading fragments of the man they love.
The Memory Keepers is a sweeping, multi-generational saga of family, identity, and the enduring power of love. It is a poignant, unforgettable story that asks a profound question: when the mind forgets, what is left for the heart to hold onto?
In a world where humans are considered nothing more than commodities-bought, sold, and studied like exotic livestock-Vareshian university student Lorian Thorne receives a young 6 inch human as part of a groundbreaking class experiment. Unlike the older, scarred, and vacant humans distributed to his peers, Lorian's human is barely more than a child, wide-eyed and trembling in the corner of his cage.
Lorian has always understood humans the way his parents taught him: resources, tools, valuable for their rarity but not worth empathy or consideration. Yet as he observes his human's fragile existence and begins to interact with him, Lorian starts questioning everything he's been told. The boy's small, defiant attempts at connection force Lorian to confront not only the morality of his own actions, but the brutal reality of the society he lives in.
As the class progresses, Lorian must navigate the expectations of his Vareshian peers, his parents' ingrained beliefs, and his growing sense of responsibility toward the life in his care. What starts as a sterile academic exercise becomes a journey of unexpected connection, forcing Lorian to face the uncomfortable truths about his world, his family, and ultimately, himself.
