Synopsis
The novel takes the relationship between Bao Dai and Chai as its theme, and combines the clues of the peach blossoms in "Dai Yu Buries Flowers" to move the story to a modern background. The personalities of the characters have been adapted to "A Dream of Red Mansions" and modified; the relationships between the characters have also been modified accordingly. The first encounter between Baoyu and Daiyu at the age of fifteen, and the encounter between Baoyu and Baochai at the age of thirteen were the highlight of their youth. When she was reading The Red Mansion, she could not let go of Daiyu's death. She could not find a suitable way to get along with Baoyu and Baochai even until her death. This, of course, also included the feudal system. Here, the time point when the protagonist meets is adjusted, the story line is reorganized, the (fictional) details of the protagonist's childhood sweetheart are added, and the ending is rewritten as "understanding, relief and forgiveness", so that the protagonist can truly grow spiritually. The author hopes to outline the youth story of the three people with a touch of sadness, hoping to bring a new experience to readers. At the same time, some clumsy foreshadowing was also arranged. The names of the protagonists are reconstructed from the pinyin of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai. Readers can guess the corresponding characters by themselves (laughs). The writing style refers to "Five Centimeters per Second", but no attempt was made to change the personal perspective, which is a big pity. In terms of character arrangement, there are many "part-timer" characters. They have not been able to achieve the state of "not wasting a single stroke of writing" and still need to practice. "Peach Blossoms Bloom" depicts Bao Dai's bond from childhood to adolescence, mainly from the perspective of a boy. Baochai's appearance in "A Dream of Red Mansions" brings out a series of youthful and ignorant fetters, making the protagonist's inner struggles and contradictions more obvious. The dream in the following text implies (actually expressly states) that the characters have corresponding identities in the Red Mansion, and the section about Daiyu's funeral was reshaped on the basis of the original work, and some references were also made. "Five Centimeters Per Second" uses a girl's perspective to show the life of living overseas after becoming an international student. It is intended to express the exploration and final release of the relationship between the three people. The plot combines snippets from "Detective Conan", "Daiyu Buries Flowers" in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and the author's own personal experience and thinking. Part of the description is inspired by recent chats with foreign friends; a large section of poetry is quoted from the opening line of "The Legend of Classics". The author is not academically sophisticated, has little talent and knowledge, and has many inappropriate wording and quotations, and the theme conception is unavoidable. Although he tried his best to find one (or several) clues that run through the whole book, many of them are lost in the middle, and the rest are self-consciously blunt. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy. It took less than a week from the beginning of the conception to the completion of the writing. During this period, I had to take into account other tasks such as online classes and homework. The actual writing time was less than thirty hours, and I had no time to revise or delete the original manuscript. It is really a very crude article. If there are any mistakes, please include them. This article is the author's first novel (let's just take it a step further). I hope readers can recall their youthful days, bravely face the past they "don't want to remember", and draw warm strength from it.
