"Your Name Is Also My Name" is a long campus novel about names, waiting and reunion.
Shen Yuyang and Shen Yuyan, two names that differed by only one character, were destined to be written repeatedly by fate starting from the badges they picked up in junior high school. After the senior year of high school was reclassified, they finally sat next to each other on the seating chart of Class 14 - he was top-notch in geography but partial to subjects, she was perfect in math but quiet; he was once a "playboy" in the eyes of others, while she was a painter who was not good at words but had a delicate heart. A narrow aisle, a light gray sketchbook, and twenty-five paintings connect all the seasons from acquaintance to love.
However, after the college entrance examination, the distance between Nanjing and Shanghai, and the pressure of studies and future, made the two hearts that were once tightly connected gradually drift apart. She said: "Loving you makes me less and less like me." He stood there, holding the painting that didn't say "with you", and finally understood - it turns out that just liking it is not enough.
Many years later, the sycamore leaves on Liva Road have fallen and grown longer, but the street lights in Liuxiang are still on. When he carved her name into the ring and she re-wrote "and you" on the painting, they finally understood that true love is not about standing still and waiting, but about still choosing to move towards each other after each has grown up.
The writing style of the book is delicate and gentle, using paintings as a guide and leaves as evidence. In the changing seasons of sycamores and ginkgo trees, the book fully describes the clarity of a young heartbeat, the pain of wear and tear in a different place, and the determination of reunion after a broken mirror. This is a story about "your name", but also a story about "us".
