Flowers and Youth

That faint glimmer of first love: was it moonlight, or the glimmer of tears?

Read-before-you-start warnings:

1. The heroine is stubbornly single-minded, and the hero is a man of few words. The ending is open.

2. The story begins at school and moves to the city later. After the characters reach adulthood, the plot gets melodramatic. If that's not your thing, click away.

3. Here are a few lines from the folk song "Flowers and the Young Man," shared for their rhythm and poetic beauty:

"The king of flowers is the red peony, the red peony blooms in spring;"

"The finest thing in the world is a young man, and the young man is spring itself."

"The young man fell for the red peony, and the red peony fell for him."

--

The title of this story comes from "Four Seasons Tune: Flowers and the Young Man," considered a representative folk song of western China.
