I remember that when I was a child, Wang Ji filmed a movie "Pink", but I never had the chance to watch it. Over time, I forgot about it. Thanks to Tomato for recommending this book, I was attracted by the story the moment I opened the book. Everyone is a small speck of dust belonging to that era, impacted and carried by the waves of the times, and reaches a seemingly destined ending!
