About This Novel

"The old station will not stop, I will return to you" is a realistic urban emotional novel that spans more than 20 years. The story starts from Fushun, a small town in Northeast China, passes through Beijing, struggles, and finally returns to the true nature of life. Through Zhan Xu's life trajectory from the age of 18 to 40, it shows a man's growth and transformation in love, career, and friendship. The core is two completely different relationships: the nine years of being young and persistent with Su Hui but ending miserably, and the thirteen years of silently waiting for perfection with Chen Yao. The novel explores propositions such as "persistence and letting go", "growth and redemption", and "materiality and sincerity". The painting of Flowers of the Other Side that was tattooed on Zhan Xu's back without anesthesia is the ending he drew for the past; while the nine-year secret photos that Chen Yao has collected silently are the foreshadowing she has laid for the future. In the story, there are the fireworks in the streets of a small northeastern city, the artistic light and shadow of Beijing 798, the ups and downs of human relationships in shopping malls, and the hands of ordinary people holding each other tightly in the torrent of the times. When Zhan Xu announced in the 40-year-old live broadcast that the "Ex-Girlfriend Restaurant" would be renamed "Yaoguang Family Banquet", a man finally completed the entire transformation from a boy to a husband and a father - the old station will not stop, and the return journey will end with you.
