范怀智的短篇小说《梅尔森圣典》是一篇关于远行的人生寓言。如果说这篇小说有一个中心场景,那就是,一个垂暮老人静坐于窗前,听着窗外的雨声,在“品味着年老的寂静,回想着似曾遥远却又历历在目的往事。”小说没有写明国别、年代。这位老人梅尔森,他曾是一个富豪?一个传教士?身份也不是很明朗。总之,他原先所居住的那个城市是一个“有着成万户人家”的繁华都市,他在这个“大城之郊”有着“历久且新的院落”。他厌倦了尘世,“多年以来他只想离开那座浩大的城,远遁到一处无恶的僻静的角落里去。 Van Huai’s short story ”Myerson“ is a parade about life’s journey to life.

The old man Myerson, he was a rich man? A missionary? Identity is not very clear. In short, the city where he was originally living was a prosperous city with “millions of families,” and he had “a long history of new courtyards” in this “suburban city.” He was tired of the earth, “” For years he just wanted to leave that vast city far out into a wicked, secluded corner.
