The damp evening breeze in Old River Village is my earliest memory. On a rainy night when I was four, I left my hometown with my grandmother and went to Linchuan City.
I have a photographic memory that never fades. The details, tones of voice, and twilight light and shadow that others forget are all firmly etched in my mind. This talent is no blessing. Painful scenes replay over and over, too.
A stifling childhood, afternoons spent out of place in kindergarten, secrets hidden in my heart; the distance concealed by my closest friend in middle school; and the girl I met in high school, whom I could only keep at a distance in my heart.
There is no dramatic comeback, just a girl, covered in countless little scars, slowly reclaiming her life.
[Reading Notes] A realistic coming-of-age story, told in both first and third person, with a slower pace. Includes a troubled family background and a secret school-days crush; no melodramatic revenge. This book is not under contract, and bonus snippets will be published separately. Updates are generally at 8:30 p.m. There will be one or two days each week without an update.
Theme: Remember the past, make peace with your scars, and complete your own redemption.
