About This Novel
[Redemption Essay + Group Portrait Essay from the 1980s + Childhood Sweethearts] Winter of 1986, Shencheng People's Hospital. 11-Year-old Zhou Heng was stabbed through the abdomen with a long nail and lay silently in the emergency room. He has no family, no money, only stubbornness and scars all over his body. The attending doctor Meng Jie rescued him and took him home. From then on, there was a girl named "Xiaoxi" in Zhou Heng's life. She is a doctor's daughter, sunny and kind, shining like a ray of light into his gloomy world. But he is the "son of a criminal", silent and sensitive, living in rumors and contempt. She gave him a candy, and he secretly learned to make meringue cakes for her; she was bullied, and he risked his life to protect her; she wanted to go to Beijing, and he saved money to send her on a long trip. From Huanxi Street to the west to find their mother thousands of miles away, from childhood companionship to youth estrangement, they depended on each other for warmth in the ordinary life of the city, and quietly separated and reunited at the fork in the road of fate. It wasn't until that day when he parked Santana at the school gate and said to her, "Get in the car, I'll take you off." She didn't understand that some people never leave.
