I had a very brief relationship when I was in college. It was my first love. I loved a girl, deeply. But the relationship itself may be doomed to be wrong. Friends often ask me whether the protagonist in this novel is like that in reality, or whether I made it up myself. My original answer was: There is such a thing in reality, and I do not deny the authenticity of these characters and plots. Lin Mengjie in the novel is the embodiment of my first girlfriend. She pursues modern independence and freedom, but also has the behavioral characteristics of modern petty bourgeoisie. The relationship between me and her ended after two months, and the subsequent results were not what either of us wanted.
Speaking of the artistic features of this novel, I chose the prose novel method. It can be said that I wanted to show my emotional and ideological world in a way different from the pure storyline, so it may put some pressure on everyone in terms of the novel's appeal. The novel uses a college love affair as the main line to describe the various life entanglements that contemporary college students encounter when facing love. In the pursuit of love, he experienced pain and began to grow slowly, but he did not doubt the authenticity and value of love. I began to learn to read people and deal with things in my ignorant first love. Many young men and women are struggling for the memory in their hearts in order to achieve the situation they desire. The process of chasing was painful, so I began to learn to interpret this difference in another, more familiar way. The once crazy love has become confused and lost in the gradual life experience. I still hope readers will forgive me and point out the shortcomings of this novel.
