Windward Ridge

This is a belated book review. I have been busy for a long time. When I went out to have a barbecue last night, I inexplicably thought of this book. When I checked the subscription time, I suddenly found that almost two months had passed. But even though so much time has passed, this book is still not a piece of cake for me. It is still difficult for me to forget the story of Jiang Song and Shen Zhuo. This is a story of love and being loved, redemption and being redeemed. Compared with the urban fairy tales written before, the characters in this book are three-dimensional and full-bodied, and are closer to the human tastes of life, but not cliched. This is actually rare. Presumably the author is also a delicate and gentle person in life, otherwise he would not have written such warm and touching words. How to say specifically, I intuitively feel the cruelty of life from the author's writing, but unlike other authors, maybe in other people's stories, I can temporarily substitute it, as if I have fallen into a beautiful fantasy, and maybe nothing will be left after that, but this book strangely gives me an aftertaste that is still lingering in my heart for a long time. It is an inexplicable feeling, as if I am comforted by something. I really like this story, I like how Jiang Song and Jiang Zhuo support each other, I like how Jiang Song and Jiang Zhuo don't trust each other, and I like how evenly matched Jiang Song and Jiang Zhuo are. The story begins with Jiang Song escaping to a remote town. It attracted me from the beginning. I wonder if anyone has had the same experience as me. When I was a child, I might have had the intention of escaping just because of a dispute with my parents, but after careful consideration, I still regretfully gave up. This is probably due to the innocence of a child who is not familiar with the world and the childish revenge mentality. So I admire Jiang Song very much. With such courage and self-reliance, people are often more likely to compromise when faced with unknown fears, even if they already clearly understand what they will encounter in the future. This is probably the current situation of many girls. But Jiang Song was not. She had the courage to make a desperate move. Just like in a fairy tale, she escaped to a remote town where the group of people could not be found for the time being. Although I still had a slight worry in my heart at the time, such a plan was too crude, just like a plan for today without tomorrow. She didn't want to deliberately hide her whereabouts at all, she just wanted to find a quiet place to live well for the time being, and then end her short life of loneliness and helplessness. Later, after she experienced some of the beauty of life, she began to seek death in various ways. In her opinion, there would be no regrets in this way, but she did not expect to meet Shen Zhuo in the process. It's hard to imagine what kind of mentality Shen Zhuo had when he took in Jiang Song, and what kind of mentality he had when he sold the old house to redeem the heroine. Yes, it redeems the heroine. It's so funny. Relatives are not relatives, but strangers who meet by chance are brothers who can rely on each other. Such a contrast between people's hearts has a dramatic effect. From here on, I began to hold my breath in my heart. Maybe this money gave Jiang Song so-called freedom, and her life would no longer have anything to do with that couple. But, as Jiang Song said to Shen Zhuo, why should Shen Zhuo pay this price? Why, why would you treat your daughter like an object and transfer it to others? Why, why do you sell your daughter to be so high-sounding? They don't deserve to be parents at all. With such a breath, I read this book before going to bed that day. Fortunately, Jiang Song recovered the money later, not because she loved money, but just because she wanted to put an end to the inhumane past. How determined and stubborn, this is the Jiang Song that Shen Zhuo likes, and this is also the Jiang Song that I like. Maybe the character is not perfect, but she is so imperfect, a little sick, and even looks a bit pretentious at times, but she is so lively and cute. Perhaps in Shen Zhuo's view, this deal was worth it. For a small amount of money, these parents would never disturb Jiang Song's life, and he could create a future worth looking forward to for him and his sister with his own hands. Although I thought the story would have little flexibility and might leave regrets, imperfection is the normal state of life. But unexpectedly, the story does not end there. It describes the mutual dependence of the two people in the cold winter, and the tacit understanding between the two people that needs no words. From junior high school to college, and then to college graduation, the two of them have been partners as siblings for so many years. From sister to lover, there may not be any obvious turning point at all. The relationship between the two has already changed at some unknown time, and maybe it just takes a little external force to break through. Different from the extreme pull between adult men and women, this kind of double-arrow secret love that is ignorant but unaware has a different feeling. Thank you author for bringing us such a richly layered and complete story, you are truly amazing.

The whole first half of the book is really good, but it starts off high and starts off low. Especially after the heroine goes to her parents to get back 400,000 yuan and breaks up with the hero, the story becomes more and more suspended. Emmm, I fast-forwarded through the rest of it, which was quite disappointing.

After reading it, I felt empty and uncomfortable in my heart, unable to let go of A Song and Shen Zhuo. Watching the two of them grow step by step, becoming strong, stable, excellent, and able to love each other, the warmth and touch really make people feel the same. Many times, I was very happy. Fortunately, Ah Song met Shen Zhuo, so that Ah Song could have love and warmth. Seeing Shen Zhuo being kind to A Song, I couldn't help but shed tears for her. It's so good that there are still people who love her. I think love is such an important thing. After all, some people may never feel love in their entire lives. I have sympathized with Ah Song many, many times. I understand her inferiority, pain, and self-esteem, and all the things about her that seem strange to others, because I am the same as her. I can better understand her desire to commit suicide, I can better understand her process of being cured, and I can also understand why she had to get back the 400,000 yuan in the end. I remember when I was reading Conan, probably around the 300th issue, there was a line that Ran-chan said to Shinichi. I really remembered it for many, many years and I still haven't forgotten it. "Because I want to be friends with Sonoko for life, I can't use her money." The situation may be different. What Conan describes is friendship. But looking at it from another perspective, Ah Song's views on love are the same. Because he wants to be with Shen Zhuo for a lifetime, he can't bear the 400,000. Ah Song hopes that they can love each other as equals and independent individuals. It's been a long, long time since I've seen Xian Yan's writing style be so good and the writing style so comfortable. I'm very grateful to my dear for being able to write such a good article. I wish you happiness and good health!

The back part is still a bit verbose, it feels like we are separated just for the sake of separation.

Tears are falling down drop by drop, maybe because of too much empathy, I hope all lonely souls can be loved

Chanting makes my heart become so strong, so good!! Finished with flowers, thank you Yuyu for bringing this story (flying kiss. GIF)
