    "If you are looking for a 'niche romance', then this book "My Youth and My City" may give you an unprecedented reading experience. It is not a 'love story', but a silent avalanche that lasts for more than 20 years. The 'romantic' part: The story contains the most extreme secret love. The male protagonist Jing Yan's feelings for Yu Mu are so pure that there are only the candid silhouette of Zhujiang Yuan, the gaze at the ancient well in Jianshui, and the ring made of grass at the graduation party. There is no "I love you", but every word is saying love. The "non-routine" part: there is no boss, no sweetheart, no crematorium for chasing wives. What is there is the true form of love under the pressure of reality - family pressure, personal responsibility, and confusion about the future. They love each other deeply, but in the end they go to different destinations. This "failure" is not abuse for the sake of abuse, but life itself. The reason for being "niche": its core is too heavy, mixed with poverty, debt, ideal collapse and moral dilemma. It is not responsible for making people dream, but for making people wake up. If you want a romance that can reflect the rough texture of life instead of suspended sugar, then this story may make you painful, but it may also make you remember it for a long time. "
