To Read
There aren't any tags, so I can only describe what I'm looking for this way. Reviews are required, but I haven't read any of these. Giving them all five stars for now; I'll decide later. Why is there so much drama on Jinjiang?
Highly Recommended
A great read

Time flies so fast, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. A few days ago, I saw the reunion of the leading actors of "Wulin Gaiden". Tong Xiangyu in the play and Yan Ni from the outside both said the same line: "Twenty years is very fast, in the blink of an eye." Although we are not 20 years, 10 years is really long. I still remember the first time I watched Cicada Summer. At that time, I was lying in my dormitory dormitory with nothing to do, looking for interesting articles on the website, and I accidentally stumbled across it, and I kept reading. Cicada Summer has accompanied me through some very important moments in the past ten years. When I was very depressed, emotionally hurt, anxious and overwhelmed about the future, I would read Cicada Summer again. It also corresponds to the saying that books are often read and often new. In fact, I have a lot to say, but I don't know where to start, so let it stay in my heart. I hope everything goes well for the author in his three-dimensional life, and I wish you happiness and health. 2025/11/04
It's New Year's Eve in 2026. I watched it again, and I had a lot of resonant and extended feelings during this period. Compared to when I watched it a few years ago, I gained a little more about my life. Thank you again for this interesting, wise, down-to-earth, warm, and beautiful story. Thousands of words, just a few strokes, written down in writing: When we read a story, we can only see one side, and when we look at many things about a person, we just keep making that person more dimensional in our hearts. I think I have more respect for others in life than the last time I read this article, so I still believe that their stories exist, but they are just compressed into a few words, and the stories of many people, including our own, are like this in different aspects of life. For me, after reading this article, I feel the beauty and fullness of love again. As for life, I still have a long way to go, carrying the weight of the past, carrying myself... In the past, I just yearned and fantasized about the words in the book, but now at this stage, I can feel the weight of life even more. Next time I watch it, maybe it will be me in the next stage. I don't know how I will feel.
I heard this book recommended by a book friend, and when I read it carefully, I felt that the novel "Love in Quancheng" was written at a similar age. There is a feeling of literary youth writing a book that can only be felt in the 2000s. When I quit reading the work, it was actually a few years ago. Wow, no wonder it gives people a feeling of nostalgia. It is really indescribable.
Xiaobei is like an old friend of mine who is lost in time and space, telling me every piece of tenderness. Reading this article gives me a feeling that times have changed. It's 2025, and I'm still listening to Yellow and still using Polaroids to commemorate. My lifestyle seems to be no different from that of my peers ten years ago, but my memory seems to still be stuck on ten years ago, because today, ten years later, I'm still listening to the same songs and doing the same things. I will lament again that this era is changing too fast. The talented scholar Fang Datong passed away, fast food culture emerged, and the torrent of information enveloped me and made it difficult to stay. I seemed to have lost the ability to chase my heart like the characters. There are many anchor points in the past ten years, the love between people is one of them. I often think about what the shape of real love is, whether it is the long-lasting love between Mai Kang and each other, or the long-lasting love at first sight between Liang Xia. Obviously, I finally understand that love has no shape, because love is in every shape, whether it is love, family affection, or friendship. Any love should treat the other person as an independent and complete individual, rather than an extension of one's own life. When each other does the job of leaving blank space in love, it also means accepting each other's flawed selves. This is the love that can continue to be derived. I hope I can seize the anchor of love and continue walking. Thanks!
It seems that I first read this work when I was in junior high school. It was seven or eight years ago really fast. I had just learned about the concept of homosexuality at that time. During that time, I browsed a lot of GL novels like I had just opened the door to a different world. I felt that it was also to verify my sexual orientation. After all, I had never heard of any heterosexual friends around me reading GL novels. I was a very timid person. I was very confused at that time and did not dare to tell others. It was not until I finished reading Cicada Summer that I suddenly no longer insisted on thinking about whether I liked girls. Just like Xiaoxia said, why bother to be obsessed with whether the other person is you or not? When you meet, just let nature take its course. There will always be someone to take you out of the haze. I don't worry about who that person will be. You will naturally know it when you meet it.
Postscript It's been almost ten years now
I have read it again. No matter how many times I read it, I can still be moved by the author's words. I wish you happiness?
Conference Room 307 of the Comprehensive Building, the Department of Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, and the Department of Immunology have introduced talents. As a reader, I feel trembling. I hope this is the information that has been optimized by the author and pays attention to protecting privacy.
I'm glad to see this novel from ten years ago. Today, when everything is becoming fast and empty, the warm words describe the story of the long flowing water and the blossoming and falling of flowers. For me personally, the book creates a utopia, where I can reflect and adjust myself during quiet reading.
I came over again after seeing the recommendation and casually browsed the comment area. This book has a history of nearly ten years. Unfortunately, I am very busy now, so I have really become an "author who updates every year"! It's summer again, so I'll read it carefully when I have time! [Like] (Fortunately, I have a bad memory)
