In the winter of my sophomore year in high school, it snowed heavily. Wen Xubai stood on the rooftop and said, "I want to go to the coldest place." Shen Yanqing stood next to her and said nothing. But she didn't know that he remembered this sentence for seven years.
Later they got separated. She thought he liked someone else, and he thought she didn't like him. If you miss it, it will be eleven years.
Later, he went to Antarctica. The place she said she wanted to go.
He called her during the snowstorm. She didn't receive it.
She opened the voicemail. His voice came from far away, with a rustling sound of electricity: "Xu Bai, if I can still go back alive..."
The sunshine outside the window is very good, just like when I was seventeen years old. But the person who was seventeen years old can never come back.
Purpose: "Unfinished Narration" tells a story about "shadows" - those people who huddle in corners and dare not be seen, those who hang in the wind of seventeen years old and can no longer speak out.
But what this novel wants to say is - you may be a shadow, but you have also been illuminated by light. You may have unsaid things, but there will always be people who want to hear you finish. You can miss someone, but you don't miss yourself.
True salvation never comes from others, but from when you finally learn to say to yourself: You existed. You have been seen. You deserve it.
