The beauty of human relationships is reflected in these people. They have less selfishness and self-interest of city people, less stinginess and calculation of businessmen, more of the enthusiasm and generosity of fellow villagers, and more of the openness and simplicity of neighbors and friends.
Beauty is always sad

The scenery outside the city is beautiful, but the ignorant love story between Cuicui and Sansan is a pity.
Fine. .
Great piece. How can reality be perfect everywhere? It's not about the coexistence of regret and beauty.
A very good book. I don't know what to read, so friends recommend it! ! ! 😊😊
Um
I watched it for the first time, but I haven't finished it anyway.
He is very honest and can clearly feel the sincerity between people.
There is a little regret in the beauty, but this seems to be the best ending. Maybe what the author wants to express has been expressed, and it stops here. This quiet, peaceful and beautiful little mountain town is naturally calm and calm after something happens, maintaining its charm.
Simple words tell true emotions. Reminiscing about the ignorance of love when I was young. Perhaps that simple social custom can only occur in the past and remain in the memory of written books. In a noisy city, it is rare to find a book to nourish your heart. Every grown-up child has the innocence and kindness of his childhood, but too many of us cannot bear the erosion of time.
