The bluestone alley of a small southern town, the cicadas chirping under the old locust trees, this setting is too exciting! The love letter folded into a paper airplane and sketched over the course of three years, this is not a secret love, it is clearly the grandest confession in youth. It's a pity that fate is always misplaced, and growth always has to pay a price. My heart breaks for Lin Zhixia and Cheng Yanqiu. I cry first to respect this youth who is looking for sugar in the broken glass! Sugar is the gift of youth, sourness is the price of growth. This sentence is so touching. Whose youth didn't have the words "Don't wait for me" that they couldn't say out loud?
"The Cicadas Chirped That Summer" is like a yellowed old letter, which neatly captures the midsummer of a small southern town, the chirping of cicadas in Qingshi Lane, and the thoughts of four teenagers on the page. Lin Zhixia's paper airplanes and Cheng Yanqiu's sketchbooks are the most cautious heartbeats of youth, but they were shattered into regrets in the heavy rain and graduation season. The author uses delicate brushwork to incorporate the sourness of secret love and the pain of growing up into every scene. The cicadas have not stopped chirping, but the young man is far away. When the old letters turn yellow and the locust flowers bloom again, we finally understand that some misses are the most profound footnotes of youth.
"The Cicadas Still Chirled That Summer" takes readers back to the throbbing rainy season of youth. With highly textured and delicate brushstrokes, the author recreates all the aspects of youthful heartbeat - the chirping of cicadas, the breeze, and the inadvertent glances, all becoming silent but surging footnotes in the story. The emotional advancement is like a stream flowing through the heart, natural and profound, and the words are full of sincerity ready to be expressed. The characters are vivid and three-dimensional, making resonance everywhere. This is not only a love story, but also a gentle retrospective about growth and courage. It is highly recommended with five stars. This is a masterpiece of youth that makes people feel ripples in their hearts after reading it! The author's writing skills are very solid and so delicate that it seems to touch the softest part of people's hearts. The "small southern town", "blue stone alley" and "cicada chirping under the old locust tree" in the book create a strong picture and instantly bring people back to that summer full of hormones and regrets. What moved me the most was the description of "secret love". There were no bloody misunderstandings, only the cautiousness of a young man's thoughts. The love letters folded into paper airplanes and the sketchbook I drew for three years are so poignant that they remind me of the unfinished regret in my youth. This kind of unconventional and sincere romance novel is indeed a breath of fresh air in today's online literature market. It is highly recommended to all readers who miss their youth and like delicate emotions!
Among the bluestone lanes, old locust trees and the chirping of cicadas, there are hidden the most gentle and regretful group portraits of secret love. Paper airplanes and sketchbooks are footnotes to a young man's thoughts and a mark of his missed youth. Sweetness and bitterness are intertwined. When we meet again, the locust flowers are still the same, but the person is no longer a teenager. The reading is full of sadness and resonance.
I really like this cover ❤️❤️❤️ The author is great, the writing is great, the characters are great, I like...😍 A very good book, highly recommended 👍👍👍👍
The author's writing style is calm and delicate, without piling up rhetoric or deliberately sensationalizing. The details such as environmental description, psychological description, action and demeanor are handled accurately. A few strokes can heighten the mood and conceal clues, which not only serves the plot but also enhances the texture of the text.
This book is set in a small southern town and tells the youth stories of Lin Zhixia, Shen Xubai, Cheng Yanqiu and Su Nian. It writes about the regrets of youth in a heart-wrenching way. And it makes good use of the interweaving of images to reveal the silent confession deep in everyone's memory in the sweet and sweet narrative. Very recommendable. (^ω^)👍🏻
"The Cicada That Summer" is full of the tenderest regrets in youth. In a small southern town, cicadas chirp for a long time, four people have two secret loves, hidden in paper airplanes and sketchbooks, eventually lost to time and silence. When we are young, our minds are green and fragile. When we meet again, things have changed, and we are full of the sourness and nostalgia of growing up.
My waist was hit by youth! When I clicked on the novel, I seemed to be dragged back to my youthful age. The author uses a grand collective secret love to recreate the common throbbing and timidity in youth - we all miss it in silence, and learn to say goodbye in the miss. What touches me most are the images that are given breathing: paper airplanes in the mud, sketches burned to ashes, and locust flowers that remain the same year after year. They silently measured the dislocation of time, allowing me to clearly see the letter I had never sent that summer in other people's stories. Youth is young, and the years are quiet!
I am reminded of Hayao Miyazaki's words, "Many years later, when I look back at the confusion and persistence of my youth, I may not even remember the reasons. Youth requires you to smile openly, but it also gives you inexplicable pain." The author's writing is exquisite, and I feel like I'm back in high school [please update] It's really great
