    A story that feels like an old movie, yet is more painful than any film. Those who have seen *Back to the Yin-Yang Realm* know the premise—a young man's body holds a past life's love sealed within. But that movie is a light comedy with a happy ending. My story, however, lacks that "thankfully." Eighteen years ago, Shen Yuan died in that rain that never returned. His memories, his obsessions, his unspoken love, were all sealed into the mind of a young man—Chen Luo. The young man doesn't remember any of it, only feeling an emptiness in his heart, waiting for someone to fill it. Then he met Du Xiaoyu. Her smile was like the first ray of spring sunshine; Chen Luo's heart fluttered—real, burning, and uniquely his own. But just when he thought it was his own love—Shen Yuan's memories burst forth. The girl he fell in love with was the daughter of that man with the old obsession. It turns out the flutter was his own, but the longing was someone else's eighteen years of memories. A heart is split in two. One half is the joy of young Chen Luo, the other half the deep affection of the deceased Shen Yuan. He can't tell which one is the real him. And who did Du Xiaoyu truly fall in love with? If a love spanning eighteen years is transplanted into a stranger's body, you fall in love with him, but the surging obsession in your heart belongs to your mother's deceased loved one. There is no happy ending, no reconciliation. Only a conscious descent into despair, and that final, silent, departing figure. Some memories never fade. Some people love for someone else their entire lives. [Smile]

    I recommend a realistic coming-of-age story with a similar atmosphere to "Seeing Spring," titled "Be Careful, Ordinary Person." It shares the nostalgic feel of a small town in the 1990s, depicting the quiet, restrained stirrings of a young man's heart. There are no dramatic plot conflicts; the regret stems from his inherent timidity and repeated missed opportunities. The budding emotions are eventually buried by time, leaving only a lingering sense of unease in the long years to come. The writing is understated yet leaves a lasting impact, lingering with a bittersweet feeling of sadness and regret long after finishing the book.
