   Have you ever had a moment when you felt youth was like a torrential downpour? *Looking South of the Yangtze River* is a campus redemption story by Zhi Wancai, telling the tale of Ji Mengnan, who at 17 was pulled from the abyss of despair by Jiang Qing—he became her only light in the darkness. But this redemption was as fleeting as fireworks, and the tragic ending is heartbreaking yet thought-provoking. Its uniqueness lies in its direct confrontation with the cruelty and passion of youth, exploring with delicate strokes whether "liking someone can be a reason to live," a realism that is almost suffocating. Suitable for readers who enjoy heart-wrenching romance, tragic endings, or those nostalgic for the confusion of youth. After reading it, you will sigh: though the light has faded, it forever illuminates the memory of the boy in the shadows.
