The handsome, kind-hearted William works in a restaurant and dreams of becoming an actor; the confident, humorous JB tries to make a name for himself in the art world; the well-off Malcolm works in a well-known architectural firm, but has lost his original love for architecture; and there is the introverted and enigmatic Jude, a talented assistant prosecutor. After getting acquainted with a famous university in Massachusetts, they first came to New York to make a living. They were high-spirited but penniless and drifting. As he grew older and had a successful career, the friendship spanning more than thirty years faced the greatest challenge - the elusive Jude himself. He didn't want to talk about the shadow of his past with others, and chose to harm himself again and again in loneliness. With the help of his friends, Jude's inner defenses gradually disintegrated... "I know my life is meaningful because I am a good friend." "A Small Life" is a hymn of brotherhood and an odyssey to explore the meaning of life. In friendship, what is damaged in us becomes whole again.

A wet life, I want it to rot like this, but there is always someone who wants to help dry it up
Luck and misfortune happen to the same person at the same time. He struggles hard in the quagmire of misfortune, but also enjoys the "self-abandonment" of not being blamed in the lucky love and tolerance, and "the privilege of being forgiven for being misbehaved." The author's ability to express psychological activities concretely is profound and resonates with people.
