Synopsis
In the middle of the summer when he was sixteen years old, Shao Ziyang, with a heartbeat that no one knew about, was admitted to the Pujiang Middle School's training class with excellent results in advance. His dormant obsession throughout the third year of junior high school was Lin Shengye, the favored son of heaven, who was facing him from afar. The two had never met before, but unexpectedly they met side by side during the choir training of the first year of high school, and became neighbors who accompany each other day and night. The brief and gentle relationship made Shao Ziyang's silent secret love grow wildly. He is restrained, tolerant, and cautious, and only dares to stay by the other person's side as a friend, coveting the warmth that only belongs to a boy. But midsummer was not yet over, and the setting sun had its own master. Only two months after joining the school, Lin Shengye made his relationship with Huang Yuran public, shattering all his secret expectations with his own hands. The fate of the arts and sciences department was misplaced. Shao Ziyang was not in the same class as his sweetheart, but instead became a classmate with his girlfriend. The long-term internal conflict and suffering overwhelmed him. He confided his secret to his best friend, but Huang Yuran accidentally found out. To everyone's surprise, she did not ridicule or disdain, but instead gently encouraged him to face his heart and say goodbye to his youth. In the corridor on the fourth floor during evening self-study in late autumn, the evening breeze was biting. Shao Ziyang mustered up his lifelong courage and confessed his secret love that spanned two years. No entanglement, no extravagant demands, just an end. What he got in return was Lin Shengye's gentle, magnanimous and no-nonsense rejection. This one-way journey that starts in midsummer and ends in late autumn is the purest and most regretful thing for a young man. The setting sun hangs high in the sky, always bright and always far away. Shao Ziyang's sixteen-year-old heartbeat finally hung in the evening wind and fell into the sea of people, becoming a regret that could not be fulfilled in his life. Concept: "The Hanging Sun" focuses on the secret homosexual crush of young people, and writes a gentle and extreme reality regretting youth. Love is pure and innocent, and heartbeat is frank and innocent. However, time difference, gender mismatch, and deviated fate have destined a one-way ending. The novel does not deliberately create bloody scenes and does not force perfection. It aims to interpret the most real regrets in youth: some loves are destined to be fruitless from the beginning, and some heartbeats can only stop at the lips and teeth and hide in the years. Growth has always been a process of reconciliation with regrets. The unknown sincerity and humility of young people are the cleanest and most unforgettable exclusive mark of youth.
