Introduction
When he was fifteen years old, Yao Yunshu traced the shape of time with his fingers under the old locust tree by the river. She didn't know that those crooked scratches would grow into the tenderest scars in her heart in the years to come.
From the girl running across the playground with hunched shoulders, to the girl who finally dares to reconcile with herself in the mirror. In five years, she met friends who walked hand in hand, experienced unspeakable worries, and learned to grow up little by little in countless late nights and early mornings.
This is a story about growing up and a letter to all girls - it turns out that the river of time will eventually take us to a warmer place.
