Tea Without Rain
by Dongjun
About This Novel
Misty rain, new tea, long old alleys, and former rivers are like a trance back to the past in the old city of southern Zhejiang; the "three official masters", the lyricist, the three elders of Tao An... People who have not taken the initiative to keep up with the times disappear into the daily fireworks. Times are changing at an accelerated pace, and some people live at an even pace. In old houses, old alleys, and used bookstores, unlock the hidden plots of small town stories; ten stories hidden in daily fireworks, the past and present of an old southern city. Houses in this area of the old city have been demolished and relocated, but an old house dedicated to the third official still remains alone; at the end of the old alley on North Street is Qiu Lu's house. In every boy's memory, Qiu Lu is always associated with a certain summer and a long alley; the second-hand bookstore "Tao An" is like a gray cat, crouching in a corner of the old city. Now, Mr. Lin, the youngest of the "Three Elders of Tao An" has also passed away. The old man who runs a fish stall, the gentleman who sings drums and lyrics, the civil servants at the old city reconstruction headquarters, the middle school physics teacher who doesn't believe in fate... The sounds of chatter from far and near are hidden in the streets and alleys, gathering without reason and drifting away without cause.
