Sugar-Coated Haws

A story about the growth of a teenager, or two teenagers. Love, textbooks, taverns. Beishan Street, Hefang Street, the eighteen years old who will never come again. This article is 70% true and 30% false. It is a work I wrote from 2020.5 To 2021.6. It basically tells the story of what happened during my undergraduate period and also "predicts" part of the future. [Volume 1 Black Sesame] Preface "That was his glorious youth when he was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. It was his youth when his courage burned into brilliant fireworks. It was the innocence, freedom and arrogance that he will never find again in this life." "What exists and what will never come again." [Volume 2 Sweet Hawthorn] Preface "You know that I am a little star in medical school. You know that I like drawing but not studying. You know that I like Winter Wing's candied haws the most. In your heart, I am and always seem to be that happy and brainless star." "But you don't understand the unbearable weight in my life." [Volume 3 Red Caramel] Preface "We have joined hands to witness the first snow of that year. I have tasted porridge made from snow mixed with jasmine-scented milky green, seen the candied haws on Hefang Street strung into red lanterns, hugged a Persian cat, and experienced the refreshing effects of blue tangerine sparkling water." "Puyang, thank you for the intertwining of darkness and happiness in my life. Thank you for adding a strong touch of color to the gray time." "I admit, I really like you." [Volume 4: Soft Date Paste] Preface "That night I opened the photo album and saw the splendid scenery and the photos of you and me lying in the album. They were all faded and distorted, as if covered with a layer of gray filter. It seemed that only the time and place of the shooting were vivid - it was in far Western Europe, in the gentle drizzle of the temperate maritime climate, and the August summer was as cold as a pond." "I know that this is the time that is healing me. In the warmth and touch of your knowing smile, I have found salvation." [Volume 5: Long Bamboo Stick] Preface "I can't describe those years in words... The direction of time suddenly fell into chaos. I was like a grey-faced busker, in rags, penniless, and so poor that I only had a sincere heart - so I held it, squeezed out the hot blood, and painted it red wherever it could be used." "I live almost crazy." "Because I always firmly believe that the road under my feet is winding and long, and no matter how dark the night is, it will eventually light up. For this reason, I am willing to give tens of millions of percent of my enthusiasm and abandon all burdens and fetters, just to have my name on the honor roll." [Volume Six: Glutinous Rice Paper] Preface "I know that the facts are cruel and the world is impermanent, but the facts are there. Whether you are sad or not, they exist objectively and normally - so I am willing to cherish the enthusiasm in my heart and the fire in my eyes, and I will let them still burn brightly after many years; I believe that when I wake up tomorrow morning, the city will still be prosperous, the sky will still be clear, and the future will still be bright." "Dear Cheng Puyang, please believe that the journey will be worthy of you and me. Please believe that the years to come, although full of unknowns, will still be rich and warm, and I will always remember those brilliant frivolities and the youth we shared. Although time has passed and the years have passed, I will always love you, starting from today this month - To a future that will never arrive. " Intention:
