Lin Mu, a veteran media professional from 2025, woke up after a night of heavy drinking in the bitter winter of 1978.
That year, the college entrance exams had just been reinstated, and educated youths were returning to the cities en masse. People wore gray and blue work clothes, their eyes bewildered yet full of longing.
That year, he was twenty-two, homeless, and had only a middle school education.
Faced with bare walls and the relentless tide of the times, Lin Mu slung a battered guitar over his back and threw himself into the much-maligned midnight slot at a radio station.
No System, no pocket dimension.
Armed with decades’ worth of hit songs from the future and a media savvy far ahead of its time, he gave a voice to the future in an era when model operas were all people had.
One song, “The Story of Time,” brought countless sleepless wanderers to tears.
One novel, “Love Under the Hawthorn Tree,” sold out every last tissue in the city and left everyone in tears.
“In this age of slow journeys and letters that take forever, I want to warm your whole life with my voice.”
This novel tells the purest, most heart-wrenching love story of that era, alongside the splendor of getting a second chance at life. It is a collision of ideals and emotion. If you’re not patient, this may not be for you, because the journey is bound to tug at your heartstrings now and then.
To write about the past era, you need to experience it before you can describe it.
It's so good-looking, with a different style. The male protagonist is positive and positive without complaining. He uses the memory of his previous life to write songs that he can never tire of listening to. From an unknown little educated youth who returned to the city, he has grown into a famous writer, songwriter, and writer all over the country. Excellent.
After reading Chapter 6, I gave it a five-star review. Even if the content is not long, I can still feel the author's writing and the enrichment of the story. It is worth reading ~
Give yourself a 5⭐, it's not too much [rolls eyes].
To see the aftereffects, it seems to be ok so far
Middle-aged people like to watch it. Full of memories I can't pursue him anymore. The timeline is so unreliable. In that era, songs had to be defined as whether they were bourgeois or not, and clothing had to be orthodox. How should I put it, it was like giving me a knife and fork with a table of delicious Chinese food. It's awkward no matter what.
During the broadcast, coupled with the artistic processing in my mind, I cried. I don't know whether it was the author who wrote it well or the processing I did well.
All I can say is: it's a really good novel. Although I just started watching it. It's really a very beautiful novel.
A pretty good book 👍
The story is logically clear and can be read
