    Reader note

    Reading this memoir-like story is like walking alongside the protagonist through the four seasons of his youth, from the innocent ignorance of a pure white world, to the trepidation of stepping onto the bridge of dreams to new scenes, and then to the forced confrontation with farewell and the process of learning to reconcile with regrets. Every step is delicate and poignant. He once thought that some people and things would be like flowers that never fade, accompanying him through the years, but he slowly came to understand that farewell is a compulsory course in life—disliking the helplessness of saying goodbye, experiencing the bittersweet reluctance, and finally learning to adapt to the emptiness after farewell, and then retrieving the tenderness scattered throughout the seasons in his memories. There are no dramatic plots in the story, only the small details of daily life, the lingering thoughts, and the warmth hidden in the folds of time. It's like holding a cup of warm tea on a cold night; the first taste is a faint melancholy, but the aftertaste is full of healing warmth. The more you read, the more you can feel the softness and relief that comes with being polished by time, as if you yourself have completed a gentle journey about growth and farewell with the protagonist.
