It's a literary and artistic piece, a sweet and academic piece of writing. It's quite special. It tells the story of a Chinese female graduate student and a Russian male student. Both are academics. The female protagonist specializes in comparative literature, while the male protagonist is a scholar who studies Russian literature. The female protagonist wrote many letters of criticism to the male protagonist's academic articles. Later, she found out that the male protagonist was studying abroad at the same school and recognized her. She must have had a crush on her. The pace was fast and no nonsense. What attracted me the most! It's super romantic, the author's writing is very good, and some of the literary references are particularly comforting and heart-warming. Oh yes, the male and female protagonists love to study very much, haha, they go to the library every day. Realistically, campus life is very real, not like what is shown in TV series. Highly recommended! You can take a look, the word count is short.
