In parallel worlds, flowers bloom on both sides of the river, and each finds their own happiness.
Chu Yuan: "There aren't many things in this world I want to hold on to. One is music, and the other is her. If I can't hold on to either of them, then what meaning does anything I've gained have?"
Cen Yin: "I once did everything I could to embrace a lonely soul. Only after I left him did I realize that I was the lonely one."
The Italian poet and film pioneer Ricciotto Canudo said: "All the arts in the world ultimately revolve around architecture and music. Sculpture and painting are attached to architecture, while poetry and dance are woven into music."
This novel tells the story of a young singer-songwriter who loves music and a girl who loves architecture. Amid doubt and hardship, they protect their love and dreams. Through their story, I pay tribute to the kindness, sincerity, ideals, and original aspirations that remain as precious to me as if they were yesterday.
Theme: In this world, it is easy to bend down and seize what lies within reach, but difficult to look up and reach for what is high above. The choices a person makes between desire and restraint, what they accept and what they give up, their state of mind when fame and fortune come crashing down, and the way they struggle to survive at their lowest point all test the purity of the soul.
