I have always felt that my life has no sense of reality, as if I have lived in vain for twenty-two years, doing nothing, doing nothing well, and always worrying the people around me, so I have a small wish to write out the stories about myself and my friends around me. Ever since I was a child, I have liked to sit alone at home and write unintelligible things. I guess it was the so-called moaning without any reason. When I grew up, I said to my friends more than once: "Your story is very exciting and touching. I must write it." In this way, I don't know how many bad promises I made (although they probably didn't take it seriously), but after all, I promised others. As a post-80s generation, I always keep my word. So, I decided to synthesize their stories and combine them.
The story describes the friendship, family ties, and love of our generation. We are called the happy generation, but are we really happy? Most compatriots probably don't feel this way, especially those of us who were born in the 1980s.
These stories may have been experienced by us personally. Maybe you are An Yan who has low self-esteem but is stubborn, maybe you are Bai Mingmin who is chic but afraid of losing, maybe you are precocious and steady Liu Anla, maybe you are the optimist Li Duan or the pursuit of perfection Ye Hong...
These boys and girls, these simple stories, together constitute our 1980s era. There are no intrigues, no time-travel myths, and no beautiful fairy tales. Here are just our own stories to commemorate those lost eras and lost feelings, nothing more.
