At the very beginning, I love Jiangxi! Hahaha~ This is a soothing, sleep-inducing story, perfect for listening to as you drift off. Lin Xi, a third-year student in the foreign languages department at a university in northern Jiangxi, meets Evan Carter, the new foreign teacher, during her final strawberry season. They meet in a translation class about “homesickness.” As they pick strawberries from the university’s experimental garden and make delicious strawberry pie and Chinese-style strawberry jam together, their relationship grows from teacher and student into romance. They spend a year filled with the scent of strawberries, music, and cross-cultural sparks. Just as their love ripens, Evan’s one-year work visa expires, and he has no choice but to return to the United States. Faced with the real pressures of a long-distance relationship, cultural differences, and an uncertain future, they say goodbye through tears. Three years later, now more mature through their careers and personal growth, they reunite through an international cultural project centered on strawberries. At last, they bridge the distance between them and turn the affection that once burned so briefly into a mellow love that can last a lifetime. The two then open a guesthouse and begin sharing cultures with guests from around the world~ And at the very end, I love Jiangxi! Hahaha~
