About This Novel

This is the first collection of narrative essays produced by Jiang Nan in the 12 years since his writing. It tells the stories Jiang Nan has seen around him over the years. How can one author write about everyone in the world? I write over and over again, and what I write about is myself and the people around me. Whether it is loneliness or ambition, it all reflects a certain aspect of my life. This is my limitation and shallowness, but it is also my sincerity. --By Jiangnan

In fact, I planned to buy Nanda's essay when it first came out. When I was a senior in high school, I suddenly thought, what can I say about an essay? Forget it, so I didn't buy it. Now, when I am a junior, I suddenly realized that we are all lonely people after reading it. I actually envy Nanda for being able to live a cool life in the United States. I am a person who can't even speak the language. Now I don't know how I survived abroad. I asked my brother in China to help me go to the bookstore to buy a copy. Suddenly my brother asked me, do you want a white one or a yellow one? I just discovered that there is also a hardcover version. Suddenly I felt a little distressed. I remembered what happened in my senior year of high school. Even if the college entrance examination was in front of me, I had to skip classes and go online. If I had studied NTU's "Dragon and the Young Boys" at that time, would I have made a different choice? But fortunately, I didn't miss it. Although it has been many years.

Why Bother with Your Screen Name ;-)95mo ago

It was you who ignited my passionate young heart that had been extinguished long ago

The first time I read The Dragon was in elementary school, and I never watched it again. Then in junior high school, because of my studies, I felt like I was getting older. I didn't want to grow old yet, so I watched The Dragon again, and I always had Lu Mingfei in my heart.

I followed Nanda's books from the second year of junior high until I was about to graduate from high school. Every time I read a book, I would gain a lot of life insights. It is undeniable that the writing is really good! ! !

It is often said that reading a person's novels can reveal a person's culture, character, and family background. In Jiangnan's novels, if you don't read the literary talent, you can also tell that he is an academic. The description of weapons and technology is very detailed. Jiangnan is not lonely now, because only people who have been lonely and left loneliness can write about loneliness. The family background should be middle and upper class, because the higher the level, the more things I come into contact with, the more things I can think of. In short, poverty limits my imagination (here poverty refers to me)

so lonely

I have been lonely all my life in Nanda, and it seems that I don't have anyone with me who is really with me all the time. Sincerely, I wish you have a girl who understands you. I promise that I will heat the blade next time so that you can feel our warmth.

Read it before taking the Chinese language test, and then you will feel very good when writing a running account.

It's true, the electronic version of Dragon and Boy is not as emotional as the physical book. In fact, Nanda wants to express a lot, but the electronic version really lacks a lot of emotion...

I want to hang out, pick up girls, learn martial arts, get admitted to Peking University, and live my life in Peking University. Wow, it's a huge psychological trauma for someone like me who is so focused on studying but can't read well.

In Dragon and Youth, Nanda is still the same Nanda, and is still my favorite stranger.

I have never liked anyone else as much as I like Nanda. He is a unique existence, the willful and arrogant fairy Nan.
