On June 8, 2024, I finished reading this book with mixed feelings. I felt so sorry for Xiaodie; no one cared about her even in death. Perhaps death was a relief for her. How to put it... I was diagnosed with moderate depression in 2023. I didn't dare tell my classmates and friends. I'm currently undergoing treatment and hope I can get better soon.
I didn't cry after reading it, but it was really touching 🥺 The novel has many well-placed details and foreshadowing; the salt soda, butterflies, and the sea are all cleverly interwoven into the text, making one marvel at the author's delicate writing style and its power to move the heart ❤️ The dream sequences felt very real, vividly portraying Ruodie's deep-seated fear and inescapable…
It was very good. It took me an hour to watch, and I cried until my eyes were swollen. Ruodie is a typical character driven to desperation by her parents in the Chinese education system. The writing is excellent, and I really enjoyed the book. After reading it, I felt suffocated.
Perhaps regrets and missed opportunities are part of life, but that's just how life is. The boy with heart disease and the girl with depression ultimately missed each other, even though they were only one step apart.
Finished reading it at 8:33 PM on August 15, 2024. I love a few lines in it; I cried for a while after reading each one: "In this chaotic world, even a butterfly with broken wings longs to kiss the sea." "Our meeting is fate. In my heart, you will always be a radiant butterfly." "Not everyone who has passed away will be remembered.
The butterfly kissed the sea, and the sea embraced the butterfly in return. In my heart, Qi Hai is more like a conch shell—a messenger of the sea. The conch and the butterfly were buried together in the sea. It was a calm sea, without bloodshed. Because they come from bloodshed.
It was so moving. Every character in it was real; they were all pitiful, simply pursuing their own light. But Ruodie's parents shattered that light, asking her why she couldn't be more open-minded. And yet, she did! 😭😭😭
"A rotten rose is an empty beauty; intense desire is a void in the spirit." ... It's hard to evaluate
Honestly, I cried my heart out after watching it. Ruodie could have gradually gotten better, but because of her mother's actions, she fell into despair... Qi Hai, the sea, my wish is to watch the sea with the person I love.
Although it's a tragic ending, it's also a kind of happy ending. It's really well-written and highly recommended.
