The dog has no name.
I never had that bowl of noodles again.
That "I miss you too" was withdrawn.
This is a story about what cannot be protected.
A boy who came from the countryside in northern Anhui Province, wearing shoes with worn heels, learned to cover his mouth and laugh amidst the ridicule. He recognized himself in Danmei novels and learned to be silent in the isolated classroom. He met a man who took a train from Jiangsu to see him and gave him a glove to wear.
Later, the man said, "I can't get through it."
He repeated his studies, got into college, and then got sick.
He doesn't write about heroes, only about survivors. Don't write about perfection, only write about the things that are cold, empty, and unreachable. Don't write forgiveness, just remember.
If you have ever withdrawn a message late one night, if you have a dog that you failed to protect, if you have stood at the window and looked down but did not move——
This book is for you.
