"Not Far Away" is an original and warm novel with "children and times" as its core. The story is based on the intertwining of the Millennium Eve in 1999 and the intelligent era in 2024. The camera focuses on a pair of childhood sweethearts who grew up together in the compound - Zhou Mo and Xia Chu.
Purpose: The work takes "children and the times" as the entry point to explore why in the intelligent age where everything is interconnected and information is returned instantly, it is easy for people to feel alienated from each other. The intention is to reveal that what really determines the distance between people is never the change of communication tools or the crossing of physical space, but the pure bond in the heart. As long as you remain true to your original intention, no matter how many years pass and changes occur, those sincere emotions are actually "not far away".
