About This Novel

In 2011, in Fushun, Liaoning, 17-year-old hairdresser Zhan Xu first met Su Minghui at a KTV. He walked in the snow for her, rummaged through trash cans to find her school uniform, and spent everything he had in exchange for a grand love. However, in 2015, trainee nurse Su Minghui entered the Central Hospital and gradually got lost in the privileged circle of colleagues. She disliked Zhan Xu as "just a shaved head." On September 3, 2016, on the bank of Fushun River, a shouting and decisive breakup of "only twenty-three years old" plunged Zhanxu into the abyss. He had flowers tattooed all over his back and collapsed in a rental house with stomach bleeding. It was the photographer Chen Yao who had been watching him silently in the corner for many years. She recorded his embarrassment with her camera and spent the rest of her life catching his fall. From an ant sleeping in an ATM room to an upstart in the mobile phone wholesale industry; from the regret of losing a loved one to the warmth of returning home to start a business. Zhan Xu spent fourteen years struggling to rise from the dust. And Chen Yao has also grown from the timid girl who secretly photographed his side face at KTV to a light standing side by side with him. When the successful Zhan Xu passed by the corner of the community again and caught a glimpse of the figure that looked exactly like Su Minghui, the echo of that year by the river rang in his ears, but there was no more excitement in his heart. After half a lifetime of wind and snow, I finally found peace and warmth. This is a story about loss and redemption, about "the joy comes after all hardships". The world is worth it, as long as you survive that dark night when no one cares about you.
