"That Midsummer, Our Farewell" is a youth group portrait novel full of sunshine and tears. The story takes the years from the second year of high school to the years after the college entrance examination as a picture, and delicately outlines the growth trajectories of eight young people, including Zhao Kexuan and Wang Mingkai.
Ke Xuan, an introvert who is good at painting, has a secret crush on the sunny and cheerful basketball captain Ming Kai. In the midsummer, amid the chirping of cicadas, the two and their friends experienced the passion of a basketball game, the deep conversations at convenience nights, and the excitement of sharing umbrellas in the rain. However, the pressure of reality comes quietly - family changes, financial difficulties, and academic pressure put pure feelings to the test.
When Ming Kai chose special sports recruitment for his family, when Ke Xuan gave up his dream for his sick mother, and when eight people held back tears at the graduation ceremony, they realized that their youth would eventually have to say goodbye. But the beauty of that midsummer has never disappeared: the unspoken confessions, the late-night notes of encouragement, and the tightly held hands have all become the warmest marks in each other's lives.
When they reunited a year later, they had taken different life paths, but when they looked at each other and smiled, they understood that some farewells were for a better reunion. This is a youth epic about love and regret, growth and perseverance. The sun shines between the lines, and the heartbeat of a seventeen-year-old is always echoed in the wind.
Intention: The beauty of youth does not lie in eternity, but in teaching us how to grow when it inevitably passes away.
