"I Send the Moon to You" is a 38,000-word novella that tells the story of a reunion that spans thirteen years from the first-person perspective of "Shen Qing", a bookmaker in Suzhou.
Seventeen-year-old Shen Qing and Gu Yu fell in love because of a half-moon jade pendant, but suddenly lost contact on a rainy night. When she was thirty years old, she received an anonymous jade pendant from her other half, which revealed the truth about blood cancer behind her "goodbye without saying goodbye". The story uses the "moon" as an image, connecting handbooks, letters, old photos and waiting at the Erhai Lake. Between the patio on Pingjiang Road and the sound of waves in Dali, a two-way journey of "compensation for the rest of my life" is completed.
The writing style is delicate and restrained, and the Soviet-style fireworks and the moonlight of Erhai Lake complement each other. It not only contains the daily sweetness of "cat's tail dipped in gold powder", but also the realistic pain of "loneliness outside the operating room", and finally settles on the healing of "reunion of incomplete jade"——
"I'll send you the moon, and you'll leave the rest of your life to me."
An urban healing romance about miss, redemption and handmade warmth.
