Is it possible to truly love each other and get married, to see each other day and night, but miss each other for a lifetime?
Chu Siyan, a Chinese-American woman, went to Suzhou in the spring of 2016 to visit the place where her grandparents lived when they were young. Her soul traveled several times to the most turbulent years in China between 1946 and 1949. Only then did she realize how her deceased grandparents had missed the day and night of loving each other deeply in their hearts...
Different from other time-travel novels, Chu Siyan only travels through the past with her soul, and she can only witness but not participate in the past of her grandparents. The soul travels allowed her to get to know her deceased grandparents and aunts and uncles better and better. It turns out that love is not as simple as it seems on the surface. It turns out that love has a thousand variations!
The feature of this book is that the time and space background jumps around and changes very quickly to reflect the theme of "a beauty can grow old in a blink of an eye, and be young in an instant". The original name of this book was "Youth in a Moment", but because the author saw a novel of the same name on the Internet, it was changed to "Flowing Time". I believe that the word "liu" in the new title can better reflect the sentiment of the Jiangnan water town in the book.
Purpose: To show that love has thousands of variations
