   When she was fifteen years old, her first encounter with the school grassroots Lin Jingye in the city experimental middle school was like a fateful arrangement, which started her long and secret journey of secret love. Lin Jingye illuminated Chen Ji's gloomy world like sunshine and became the "god" in her heart. This metaphor of "gods" runs throughout the entire story, from the initial "gods in heaven, please bless him" to the later "the end of believing in gods is to become your own god." Chen Ji completed the transformation from looking up to others to self-salvation. Lin Jingye's "goodness" is a ray of light in Chen Ji's darkness. He would silently protect Chen Ji when she was ostracized by her classmates, tell her "Don't be afraid" when she was scared, and give her a peace charm with the words "Peace and success, good luck in adversity" written on her when she was sick. These small actions, like gifts from the gods, allowed Chen Ji to find the only spring he wanted to embrace in the long, desolate and lonely winter. However, this love has never been spoken out, like a huge pantomime, with only Chen Ji silently starring. When she said "I wish you peace" at Lin Jingye's wedding, and when she finally realized that "she has missed Lin Jingye for seven years, she has missed him all her life", these plots were heartbreaking. However, it is these regrets that promote Chen Ji's growth. "No matter what, I am really grateful that I was lucky enough to meet you in this not-so-lucky life." This sentence expresses Chen Ji's final reconciliation. She is grateful for the experience because it made her a better version of herself. As said in an online article: "Secret love is not a failed confession, but a self-cultivation." In this practice, Chen Ji learned to love herself, learned to reconcile with the past, and learned to find beauty in regrets. "Loss of Voice" allows us to see the sourness of secret love and also makes us feel the power of growth. It tells us that secret love is not a failed confession, but a self-cultivation. In this practice, we learned to love ourselves, to reconcile with the past, and to find beauty in regrets. When I closed the book, I suddenly thought of the name of the last chapter - "Flowers as gorgeous as winter". It turns out that some flowers are destined to take root in the silent cold winter before they can bloom with their own colors in spring. The most touching part of "Loss of Voice" is that it allows us to see: Those unspoken loves and those regrets that cannot be fulfilled will eventually grow into wings that can carry us through the cold winter.

   Reader note

   🌈I cried to death when I saw it. The sentence "In the name of looking at flowers, I just want to take a look at you" fully reveals the cautiousness and deep affection of secret love. The book uses delicate brushwork to write down those unspeakable emotions. There is no grand drama, but the sincere and touching emotions are conveyed in the daily trivialities and subtle eyes. Every page of text is like an unsent love letter. What is hidden in the diary is not only secrets, but also pure heartbeat. In the fast-paced life, this novel is like a clear spring, allowing you to calm down and feel the original appearance of love.
