    Although it's not a tragic ending, the beginning was so heartbreaking I couldn't cry. It's a long novel, but I wholeheartedly recommend it.

    Because the subject matter was too depressing, my submission was rejected three times on Zhihu [sad]. "Save him... Please save Li Nuo!" I screamed desperately, but no one paid me any attention. I struggled and lunged forward, grabbing someone's leg to stop them from leaving. "There's still someone here! Save him! Anything, I'll give you anything!!! Please, save Li Nuo!!!" I dragged him a few steps forward, pulling him along the ground, clinging to him tightly. Soon, security guards came and dragged me away. I sobbed uncontrollably, unable to muster any strength, being dragged along. Zhang Yi was on a stretcher; they stepped through Li Nuo's blood, leaving bloody footprints, but didn't even glance at him. "Save him!!! There's still someone there!!! Save him!!! He's going to die!!!!" I screamed at them frantically, until the ambulance left, until my throat was hoarse, but no one came to save Li Nuo.
