Healing · mutual salvation · slow-paced · tragic ending · a small ensemble, with an autistic boy and a girl with cancer
The finish line of life came far sooner than expected, but luckily, there was you at the bend in the track.
The boy was naive, withdrawn, and gloomy, yet he made me think of bright yellow sunflowers. I wanted to cross that threshold and lead him out of his closed-off room.
If there's another life, let's not meet as fellow patients. Let's meet in a small town like a fishing village, on a bustling street corner.
The market is full of fish and salt, bolts of cloth billow like clouds. The boy in white, as fresh as a breeze, catches my eye in a single glance.
In the cemetery frequented by men, the grave bearing a photo of a smiling girl is once again adorned with a profusion of flowers.
Above that brilliant, flourishing sea of orange-yellow blooms, a white card edged in gold lies open in silence. Its message never changes. It always says: my love.
My love.
“I want to plant a field of sunflowers for him.”
“She planted a field of sunflowers for me.”
The writing is solid and the descriptions are detailed and vivid, which makes people feel comfortable to read. But it is not a family-friendly finale. Every bit of the story that happened between the two is very touching. I look forward to the author writing a sequel about Ming Sheng in the future.
