    I was just reading on my OPPO phone and found this book recommendation list to be perfect for me 😋. It's all short, intensely moving stories, like "Five Years of Deep Affection," where you can finish a heartbreaking ending in just a few minutes. Although the tags say they're potential good books, they leave you feeling choked up after reading them. But for those who want a quick emotional rollercoaster, this collection of short stories is really addictive; you can enjoy it all at once without having to follow the updates 👍.

    One book has a tragic ending, the other a happy ending; both are incredibly moving. The first one is entirely his fantasy, with everyone sacrificing for him—it's so heartbreaking, just thinking about it makes me cry, I can't recover. The second one is about how I'm selfish; I don't need you to be a great person, I just want you to be selfish too. Sometimes I think that's true, but people should be capable of universal love. I just finished reading "He Is in the South of the Clouds," and I didn't cry, but I feel like it's my problem. I'm very cold-blooded and insightful now. Since I believe Li is a drug addict, I have to accept Li's ending because she chose him, so this ending is reasonable. Of course, drug addicts are noble and deserve to be loved, and all lovable people deserve to be loved.
