This is a heart-warming diary that focuses on the growth of boys from middle class to senior class. It uses "Xingzi" as a metaphor to refer to the small but shining daily life on the way of children's growth. It uses delicate writing to string together the unique innocence and whimsy of 4-5 year old boys.
The book takes the four seasons as its axis and captures the unique growth trajectory of boys from middle class to senior class. The book especially includes the boy's "language universe". There is no grand narrative, only "imperfect" real slices of spring outings, mud stains in cotton fields, and slightly out-of-tune adapted songs. When we lean over to pick up these scattered "stars", we will see that childhood is not a container that needs to be filled, but a sea of stars with its own light - every afternoon squatting on the ground watching ants move, every self-written and directed "hero saving beauty" plot, are glimmers of life worth carefully collecting.
Reader comments
When creating "Xingzi Gathering Light", I tried to connect the fragmentary warmth in my memory into a piece like stars. The book outlines the outline of life with delicate brushwork and wraps up the feelings of growth in poetic language. It not only contains a gentle look back at the past, but also hides expectations for the future. Perhaps the writing is still immature, but every story is filled with sincerity, hoping that readers can pick up their own glimmer of light between the lines.
