In the summer of 1999, a college entrance examination pushed Lin Wei and Chen Zhu to different cities. They were once the closest people to each other, but at the crossroads of life, they were separated by fate, family and the silence of that era.
More than twenty years later, 45-year-old Lin Wei accidentally heard someone calling her name in the hospital corridor. Turning around, she saw Chen Zhu in a white coat - the man she thought had disappeared from her life long ago. . . . . .
The novel adopts a dual-line narrative, traveling back and forth between the reunion in 2026 and the memories from 1996 to 2006. The time spans thirty years, recording the secret youth of a generation - those unspeakable loves, those promises crushed by reality, finally find their respective destinations in the years. Not all love needs an ending. Some love, just by meeting it, is already the weight of a lifetime.
Purpose: True maturity is not to forget the past, but to learn to reconcile with the past and move forward with those scars.
