The title of the book uses metaphor to create a double tension: "Sugar" points to the sweet fantasy on the surface of youth, which is a young person's romantic imagination of love and growth; "Broken" tears apart this layer of sugar coating, suggesting the disintegration process of sweetness under the crushing effect of reality - the crunchy sound of broken sugar cubes is an auditory presentation of the pain of growing up. The title of the book condenses the essential contradiction of youth with minimalist imagery: We once thought that growth was sugary, but when we chewed it, we tasted the sharp pain of cutting our throats, and those sugar residues eventually became bitter crystals that cannot be metabolized in our memories.
Concept: We once thought that growth contained sugar, but we tasted the sharp pain of cutting our throats when chewing, and those sugar residues eventually became bitter crystals that cannot be metabolized in our memories.
