Book title: "Ah Ri, Ah Ri"
Background: 1989, Guyang Primary School in Jinjiang, Fujian
---
In the small town of Jinjiang in 1989, the sea breeze was salty and humid, and the phoenix flowers were in full bloom.
In the fifth grade of Guyang Elementary School, Yang Deri, a transfer student, blew into the world of Wang Yingying and Huang Lili like a clean sea breeze.
Wang Yingying always likes to chase him and shout: "Ah Ri, Ah Ri——"
She secretly stuffed the maltose she couldn't bear to eat into his schoolbag, and buried the shells she picked up in the sand where he would pass by on his way home.
Huang Lili used colored chalk to draw his profile on the back wall of the classroom, stroke by stroke, like painting the most secret dream in his heart.
The two girls tacitly fell in love with the same boy at the same time.
But that summer, Ah Ri suddenly wanted to move to Hong Kong with his parents.
On the day the ferry left the shore, Wang Yingying chased her very far along the pier. Her voice became hoarse and she could only shout:
"Ari—you must come back!"
Many years later, the old streets of Jinjiang were renovated and the phoenix flowers bloomed again.
A handsome young man stood at the gate of the old school, looked back at her, and asked with a smile:
"Should you still call me Ah Ri?"
Her eyes heated up and she answered softly:
"Ari, I have been looking for you my whole youth."
