About This Novel
Echoes of Quiet Loneliness" Chen Jiren lives up to his name - his sense of presence is so low that he feels like the world has pressed the mute button. No one will see you raise your hand in class, and you will always be the one left in the group. Even the WeChat message will be buried at the bottom of the group chat, becoming the only one without a reply. He'll be sad at first, but then he'll get used to it. Turn up the volume of your headphones to the maximum and pretend that you have chosen silence. In my sophomore year of high school, a trainee psychology teacher came to my class and organized an anonymous mailbox activity. Chen Ji wrote a letter with only one sentence: "Can anyone hear me?" He didn't leave a name at all. But at the next event, there was an extra note in the mailbox-- "I don't know who you are. But I hear you." "If you want, I'll wait for you on the rooftop every Thursday at noon. You don't have to talk." After that, Chen Ji went to the rooftop every Thursday. Sitting far away, separated from the unknown person by an entire rooftop of sunlight. They didn't say a word for a whole semester. But that was the first time Chen Ji heard an echo in his seventeen years of loneliness.
