Author's note: "South of the South Border" is a novel I completed when I was an undergraduate student at Qianju University, with a total of about 220,000 words. Completed in 2013, it has been sitting at the bottom of the box for 7 years. In the past 7 years, I was admitted to Jiangcheng University for a master's degree, and then to the same school for a doctoral degree. I finally graduated with a doctoral degree in July 2020. A few days ago, I was looking through the words I wrote when I was young, and I was very touched. Today, including myself in the future, I can keep returning to those scenes of youth from these immature words, just like Proust kept returning to the same life scene when he wrote "In Search of Lost Time". "South of the South" is a young work, an extremely immature work, and a work that I am ashamed to show to others. However, precisely because of its youthfulness and immaturity, it is not an exaggeration to call it the "gift of youth". About the author: Lu Xiaofeng, born in 1990, pen name Ran Wu, currently lives in Jiangcheng.
Concept: "South of the South Boundary" is probably the secret emotion hidden in the heart.
