"My Earthly Fireworks" Ye Zi & "Ode to Joy" Tan Zongming
"My Fireworks in the World" Meng Yanchen $ "Ode to Joy" Guan Ju'er
"Camp with Love" Xu Yuling $ "You Are More Beautiful than Starlight" Han Ting
At the age of twenty-two, Ye Zi lost three things:
Education, grandma, and myself who still laughs when standing in the rain.
She lives like a dead tree.
Not socializing, not talking, not looking to anyone.
Until I met Tan Zongming.
The first time he met her, she felt like an old friend.
Later he said: It took me three years to learn one thing -
You are not anyone, you are just a leaf.
It took Ye Zi three years to believe:
Someone watered it, not because the dead tree looked like someone,
It is the dead wood itself that is worthy of spring.
