    Reader note

    The author based this novel on her own life, written from her real diary. The female protagonist lived in a family that favored sons over daughters. During junior high school, she suffered from severe depression due to unwarranted beatings and even abuse from her mother. However, limited by her social status, she couldn't escape the control of her family, struggling for half her life in a quagmire of suffering. Set in the 1990s, her shyness, lack of courage, and the constraints of her family caused her to miss out on a deeply unforgettable first love. It was initially sweet, but later turned heartbreaking, a love that couldn't be reciprocated. They fell in love at the wrong time—when they were both in school—and at the right time, they couldn't express their feelings. In an era without cell phones, communication was impossible, and they eventually lost contact, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
