[Early writing exercise, originally posted on another site]
At twenty-nine, Meng Zhishu did three things:
He quit his well-paid job in Kyoto, used a blind-box train ticket to settle in an unfamiliar small city, and finally went home with a man he had met only once.
He thought it was a complete escape and a fresh start.
But he didn't know that an old photograph from fourteen years ago lay quietly inside a book of poetry in the upstairs study.
Many years ago, someone had slipped an unsigned love poem into his textbook. But he had personally buried everything from that time in the past.
And the poet, carrying that photograph, became his landlord and neighbor fourteen years later, and the place where he would spend the rest of his life.

I'm sorry that the teacher saw it so late (I don't usually use this software) [Xingxingyan] I was very touched after reading the teacher's words. I didn't expect that you would reply to me so much.

Teacher, I really like your book. I like gentle people very much, so in the story of Kong Yiqing and Meng Zhiyuan, I couldn't help but be moved by the gentle, kind, innocent and considerate relationship between them. They are like each other's spring water constantly flowing into each other's hearts, warming and nourishing each other. There are no heart-rending shouts, no vigorous courtship, and no ups and downs of emotional twists and turns. Everything fell into place and fell into place. Naturally, the two souls were put into a destination called love, and they understood this tacitly. Here, I seem to feel the slowness from the fast-paced life, and my soul seems to be nourished and washed. I am very solid and happy. You can read your cultivation of them from the text, which not only carries your own blessings, but also depicts the deep love the two people have for each other. Such clever words, I think it brings me great warmth and joy. Two people must be happy forever in a place we can't see. I really like this gentle story and two such gentle people. I also like even more that you, as the author, use words to convey feelings full of energy and hope. It looks great, I really like [Spreading Flowers]
!!! I really like this style. Oh wow, boss, I have found a treasure 😭
It's very interesting and the story is very gentle. Xiao Meng's past was too painful, but fortunately he accepted who he was and is with the person he likes.
So gentle, awesome! [Spread flowers]
After reading "Love Letter" on April 26, 2025, when escape became reunion, I had a destination for the rest of my life.
After reading two chapters, I feel that the quiet charm of time is everywhere between the lines. Away from the world and hustle and bustle, living in the suburbs of a remote town is like the sound of early birds singing around your ears, and it is like the paradise described by Tao Yuanming.
When watching "Love Letter", I felt like a gentle wind blowing by, very comfortable [Cat Head]
It's really interesting to conduct Q&A in this form, and it also solved my questions about some of the plots in the article. The author wrote it well 💪
