Back to My Youth, Only to Miss You Again

[Not a wish-fulfillment story + ordinary daily life + nine years of winters and summers + seven years at school + two years in the military + Wu Yuhao]

Wu Yuhao unexpectedly falls into a coma and returns to the age of twelve.

She once imagined that perhaps this was her chance.

She studied hard, yet still couldn’t finish her education.

She died at twenty-one, between late spring and early summer, amid lush green mountains.

Starting over, her limits remained. The chance to change things wasn’t a blessing, but another kind of tragedy.

She had always regretted not working harder in middle school, imagining dozens of different possibilities. Perhaps she should have chosen not to live with regret, and not to change a thing.
