In this world, we live like insignificant specks of dust. Yet even mayflies can catch a glimpse of the light.

I like this story. The whole story is advanced through language, and language is the sharpest knife. From the beginning of his father's murder, word of mouth spread among the villagers, starting a verbal bullying that lasted for more than ten years, during which it gradually evolved into actual bullying. In the middle, he met the math teacher who changed his life (?) And said a word that made him remember it for a long time. He walked a long way, and finally left his hometown and became famous. In fact, the story is already complete here, but echoing the beginning, the words are still a boomerang, hitting the protagonist. There is a lot of foreshadowing. I thought a lot after reading the whole article, but I only typed out so much.
Just keep running like this! 😭
Such warm yet sad words 😭 😭 😭
How did the author manage to master so many themes perfectly?! 😭 😭
The evil of human nature lies in "hating you for having, laughing at you for not having, fearing you for being rich, and despising you for being poor." Words are the lightest weapons, and spreading rumors has become people's best attack.
