Song of the Times

This is an almost true story, an accumulation of more than forty years of life. The characters in the story have no superpowers or adventures, but they all have vivid prototypes. They were either my classmates, my comrades-in-arms, or my later colleagues and lovers. There is joy, there is sadness, and there are also some secrets that are rarely told to others. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
