   "Those Irretrievable Years of Youth" is a delicate and moving memoir of youth by Tong Hua, filled with the growing pains and anxieties of adolescence. The teenage girl Luo Qiqi's adolescence is like a chaotic adventure. She was once a "problem student" in the eyes of her teachers, befriending "bad kids" in arcades, yet secretly studying late into the night under the lamplight; her relationship with her childhood friend Guan He went from close to distant, watching him become the center of attention while harboring a secret envy and rivalry; she met the flamboyant and unrestrained Xu Xiaobo, glimpsing tenderness under his protection, and also encountered the aloof academic genius Zhang Jun, tasting the bittersweetness of first love through repeated trials. The author doesn't deliberately romanticize youth, but realistically depicts the confusion, stubbornness, and regrets of growing up—the arguments with parents, the misunderstandings with friends, the struggles for the future—all imbued with a burning passion. When Luo Qiqi finally stands at a crossroads in her life, looking back on those irretrievable times, readers seem to have also journeyed through a bittersweet and precious youthful journey. It's perfect for reading on a quiet afternoon, reliving those clumsy yet courageous years of youth.
