    This book has a truly powerful aftertaste; it took me a long time to recover after finishing it. Jiu Yuexi uses delicate and highly evocative prose to depict a moving story amidst the chaos of war. War correspondent Song Ran and peacekeeping bomb disposal soldier Li Zan meet in a turbulent East Asia. They come from different worlds, yet their shared ideals and kind hearts draw them closer. Love blossoms quietly amidst the gunfire; they watch mirages together and make wishes under white olive trees for world peace. But war is cruel; an explosion changes everything. Li Zan is consumed by guilt over the sacrifice of his comrades and the failure of a rescue mission, developing severe PTSD; Song Ran suffers from online bullying due to her photographs and develops depression. When they meet again, both are scarred, yet they find solace and strength in each other. What touched me most about this book wasn't just the love between Li Zan and Song Ran, but also its profound portrayal of war. Those wounded by war, even those who survive, are scarred both physically and mentally. "Heroes are remembered and engraved on stone tablets, while survivors are forgotten and unrecognizable"—this is truly heartbreaking.
