Meeting in Late Summer and Early Autumn

In September of his freshman year in high school, Ye Liangchen met Zhu Yinzhi under the sycamore tree at Chang'an Middle School. She squatted on the ground to pick up scattered books, and her hairpin fell off. When she raised her head, the sun fell right into her eyes. Later, they became roommates, doing questions in the library, giving each other gifts on Christmas Eve, boating in Xingqing Park, and sharing a pair of headphones on the bus on a snowy night. Li Nan and Wu Huiying joined in the fight, and the four of them lived their lives at the age of sixteen or seventeen as brightly as sycamore leaves. But the sycamore leaves will always fall. The division of liberal arts and sciences, college entrance examination choices, the distance between north and south - those things that I thought I could overcome when I was young turned out to be insurmountable. This is a story about meeting, companionship and eventual separation. There is no bloodshed, no misunderstanding, just two people who have seriously liked each other, and a youth that cannot be retained no matter what. "May you find happiness in this world." "I just want to face the sea and see the flowers blooming in spring."
