About This Novel
In the spring of 1978, Shen Shuyi was admitted to the Department of Physics of Huaqing University. She was one of the most beautiful girls in the school and a "puppet" who crawled out of the countryside in northern Shaanxi. On the first day of school, her roommate took her to see the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. "My name is Song Huaijin. She is number one in the whole department. She is extremely good-looking, but she is cold to the core. No one can talk to her." Shen Shuyi saw that face through the crowd and almost dropped the enamel jar in his hand. That was the boy who lived above her when she was eight years old. It was the name she had been thinking about for nine whole years under the kerosene lamp in northern Shaanxi. She turned and left. He saw her too. He took two steps forward and stopped again. They all recognized each other, but no one was willing to speak first-- She was afraid that he had forgotten her. He felt that he smelled of earth and was not worthy of her. Until the school forced them to be put into the same subject group. He handed over half a piece of steamed bun: "You eat too little." She folded the coat and pushed it back and said, "Don't give it to me next time." Later, the whole school became anxious, and they thought they were in unrequited love. From Huaqing to the Northwest Space Base, from campus to the Gobi Desert. He spent his whole life telling her: I have remembered the sweetness of that toffee for thirty years.
