[A healing road-trip romance | A free-spirited young woman who wants to drift like the wind VS a passionate, exuberant younger “puppy”]
At twenty-two, Wei Xi was anxious about graduating, struggling at work, and on the verge of developing smiling depression. She boarded a train alone for Tibet, a sacred place she had dreamed of visiting for years.
Amid snowcapped mountains and high plateaus lay pure faith and sincerity, a world where she could roam freely.
Who you meet and who you fall in love with are all fated connections.
Just then, Du Xing, the younger “puppy,” and his adorable little brother, Du Qing, boarded the same train as Wei Xi. They stumbled into her world and gradually began to pry open her tightly closed heart.
They first met on the train, traveled together in Nyingchi, and took the Ali circuit. Along the way, their hearts drew ever closer.
“I didn’t find the so-called liberation when I came to Tibet, but I’m still grateful for this journey. It taught me how vast the world is, and that I don’t have to drown in sadness.”
They met and came to know each other in sacred Tibet, then watched their love grow wild beneath the city’s neon lights. At dusk in Delingha, they finally confessed their feelings and fell into a passionate summer romance.
“Big sister, I love you. Tonight, I’m in Delingha. I don’t care about humanity; I only care about you.”
