"Early Shang Nineteen" is a realistic group portrait story about youth, growth and regret.
——She is my Chun and my Qiu.
The story takes place in a small town soaked in the fragrance of osmanthus. On the first day of high school, Hu Xiaochun met Ye Zhiqiu, the skinny boy who was scolded by the teacher for being late. He is taciturn and has poor grades. He is a "poor student" in everyone's eyes. But Hu Xiaochun gradually discovered that this seemingly cowardly child had a gentleness and stubbornness deeper than anyone else's. From classmates who disliked each other, to each other's only friends, to a secret and heart-pounding first love, they held hands under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, lectured in the pavilion after evening self-study, and supported each other in online classes during the epidemic isolation. But as a grand competition opens the scars of small town education, and as another talented girl Su Qiuyu falls, their youth is torn apart by the sudden truth and separation.
Ye Zhiqiu said: "I will give you the best."
Hu Xiaochun said: "If there is an afterlife, let us meet in the next life."
This is a novel about "behind-the-scenes love", "the irreversible farewell" and "the courage that grows in the ruins". There is no golden finger, no perfect miracle, only the footprints of young girls clumsily moving forward in the mud of reality. If you have ever been moved by someone's eyes, and have said "goodbye" but never met again, then please open this book and read the story called "Nineteenth Century Business".
Concept: Regret is the background of youth, but love is the river that runs through life. Even if we eventually go in different directions, those words said under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree will still come as scheduled every autumn.
