"Falling by an Inch" is a story about "how people who don't believe they are worthy of love learn to accept love."
Lin An was abandoned by his parents at the age of ten, and has since decided that being loved requires conditions. After his facial features grew in senior high school, his gentle and prickly appearance became a constant problem - he was looked at, talked to, reached for, and bullied. He wanted to leave this world again and again, and insisted on persisting again and again, telling himself "it will be fine in the future." Until he met Lu Yu, he experienced unconditional love for the first time.
Lu Yu is born to love people. Emotionally stable and determined, he never worries about gains and losses. He met Lin An in a bar, and they reached a deal by accident. He didn't understand Lin An's running away, Lin An's coldness, Lin An's repeated attempts to dodge despite being emotionally moved, but he never gave up. He is strong but not forceful, wrapping Lin An's every breakdown with tenderness. He didn't understand Lin An, so he went to study psychology and dissected Lin An's unspeakable fear word by word. He never blames, only reflects on himself over and over again. He gave extremely hard and fulfilled extremely well.
Ten years, two escapes, two pursuits. The farthest Lin An ran was when he was sitting on a deck chair on a balcony in a foreign country and decided to leave forever. Lu Yu chased for the longest time. Under the tattoo on the side of his waist, "I see a deer in the deep forest, I wish you peace all year round" - he no longer talks about love with his mouth, he carves the promise into his flesh and blood.
This is not a sweet story. This is a story about how trauma is remembered by the body, about how love is distorted by fear, and about a man who spent ten years finally believing that he could be loved and treated well.
Concept: How can a person who doesn't believe he is worthy of love walk into love?
How can a person who has never been loved well learn to love someone?
How does it take a person who has never been firmly chosen to realize that he does not have to be chosen, but can be the one who makes the choice?
So Lin An was created,
