Introduction to the work "Xiangwan and Xingci: Fellow Travelers in the Light"
Su Xiangwan is a "lonely warrior" in a rental house in the old city. After her parents divorced, they reorganized their families and left her in a 15-square-meter cabin. She earns rent by drawing on weekends, and proves herself with perfect scores in math competitions. She seems so cold-hearted that she can refute all injustices, but she will secretly stare at the little sun on the comic manuscript late at night, afraid of being left behind by someone again.
Lu Xingci is the "myth of top academics" in the county middle school - after his parents passed away in a car accident, he followed his grandmother to guard the canteen at the school gate. He used an almost rigid method to sort out the wrong question papers and won awards in mathematics, physics and chemistry competitions. However, he had a habit of drawing stars in the corner of the draft paper, which was the "light coming home" taught by his grandmother.
An eraser dropped during the reporting day of the freshman year of high school, causing two stars wrapped in hard shells to collide. The black umbrella he left behind on a rainy night, the tea eggs he handed over by the coal stove, the shelves she organized while helping him look at the canteen, the back of him standing in front of her to resist her father who asked for money, and the sun and stars appearing alternately on the draft paper became their password to fight against loneliness.
They are not each other's salvation, but they are the only "exception" in each other's youth - she will break the principle of "not relying on others" for him, and he will take off the armor of "not showing emotions" for her. From the rain of parasol trees in the county middle school to the coastline of Southern University, two broken teenagers use understanding and companionship to spell "I" into "we". Let me tell you: the most touching youth is when someone accompanies you to turn a cold winter into a warm spring, and writes loneliness as a companion.
