"Friends in Autumn" is a realistic novel that delicately depicts the emotional dilemma of middle age. Juanzi, a thirty-seven-year-old woman, lives a routine life of marriage and family responsibilities, and her life is peaceful but boring. Shu Tong, a man in his early fifties with a seemingly successful family and career, is restless inside. An accidental birthday party made two parallel lines intersect. Through daily WeChat greetings and spiritual conversations, their initial mutual admiration gradually developed into an irrepressible emotional attraction. This encounter is like a ray of warm sunshine in autumn, illuminating the unerased desire and tenderness in each other's hearts.
However, although the resonance of "bosom friends" is beautiful, the dam of reality is difficult to overcome. The constraints of family, responsibility and morality are everywhere. They are struggling in the whirlpool of reason and emotion. They are intoxicated in the passion and sweetness of meeting themselves again, and they are also deeply trapped in the guilt and self-blame of their families. From the temptation to face each other across the river, to the fierce cross-border crossing, to the impending crisis, where will this relationship go in the end? This is not only a story about extramarital affairs, but also a profound inquiry into middle-aged self-worth, the nature of marriage and the destiny of emotions. It tells the story of how people protect their hearts and ultimately find their way back to life when an unexpected "bosom friend" sounds in the middle of life.
Purpose: Inspired by WeChat chat and set in the city, it combines love stories with social reality issues, and uses the emotional ups and downs of the story to arouse readers' attention and thinking about social phenomena.
