"The South Journey of Ganshui" is a youth coming-of-age novel set in Nanchang City and Ganshui. The story revolves around the growth of young Yan Mian. From the first year of high school to the first year of college, he experienced the throb of ignorance, companionship of friendship, emotional regret and pain, and finally gained two-way redemption across mountains and rivers.
He and Su Yuwan from Henan went from supporting each other on both sides of the screen to bravely rushing into reality; he and Lin Zhiran became acquainted with "Cloud Edge", but were tenderly missed due to their respective choices; and the brief intersection with Zhou Yao became a painful but growth-promoting mark in youth. Accompanied by his close friends Xu Qinghe, Cao Mochuan and others, and under the guidance of teacher Wen Zhiyuan's "spiral upward" philosophy, Yan Mian, like everyone around him, transformed through tears and laughter, and finally found his own direction and destination in the City of Heroes.
This is a youthful whisper about regret and courage, farewell and perseverance. It is also a southern narrative dedicated to all young hearts who learn to love and cherish time. The river in Ganxi flows forever, but their story remains to be continued.
