In the summer of 2020, Lin Yuan, a young man from Yunling, matched with Su Nian, a girl from Beiyuan on the "Meet" software. Three years and two thousand kilometers away, the glowing mobile phone screen hidden under the quilt every night has built a castle in the air. They agreed to take the exam in the same city and then meet.
After the college entrance examination, Su Nian said: "We are not suitable." The reason? Different place.
Lin Yuan didn't believe it. Three months later, he got on the train bound for Anseong. That was the first time he saw her - on a sunny day after snow, for a few days, holding hands, hugging, and saying to her "find someone who treats you well", and he took a picture of her retreating back.
What followed was a long period of self-immolation and reconstruction. He wrote the pain into his poems, writing "the dead me, kill the living me", and "the heart is broken, the grass and trees are growing".
One sentence about this book:
A young man spends three years building a castle in the air, spends two hours meeting someone, and then uses the rest of his time to grow himself out of the ashes.
It is not a love novel, it is the whole process of how a person is penetrated and how he uses words to dig himself out. Dedicated to all those who shed tears late at night and continue walking after dawn.
