I have been wanting to write about youth for two years, and it took me more than half a year to conceive it. Now I feel that the time is almost up and I am sure that I am qualified, so I started writing this song "You Are the Meaning of Tomorrow" - which is the name of the Cantonese version of "Across the Ocean to See You". For a long time, I did not dare to listen to this song, and I burst into tears every time I listened to it.
I have had insomnia for many years. Late at night I would lament the joys and sorrows of the characters in the story. When I woke up during the day, I would lament the joys and sorrows of the characters in the story.
I have passed the youthful age and can no longer write the delicate and slightly sad words I used when I was a teenager. I am afraid that as time goes by, I will forget my original mood and forget the years when I still blush and my heart beats. Time does not wait for me. I am afraid of missing and forgetting.
The two heroines in the story are myself, and many things really happened, although of course there are exaggerations in them. There are many characters and complex relationships, and many small ripples will later set off turbulent waves.
The story contains the confusion of youth, the confusion in growing up, the criticism of Chinese education, and the exposure of black-hearted enterprises. It is not a pure youth campus novel.
I like to listen to operas, but not many. I love Sichuan opera, Chu opera, Kunqu opera... All of them, so I chose the Peking opera "Farewell My Concubine" as the cultural background of the story.
There is always a relationship that is vague but unforgettable. I have thought about it, loved it, and been sentimental about it, but I have never regretted it.
