"I read it again and again with tears in my eyes, but I have to admit that youth is a book that is too hasty..."
Everyone has regrets in their youth, and no matter how you make up for it, you can never make up for the regrets. So, is there any assumption that we can complete and perfect our youth through storytelling? There are excellent academic performance, sweet love, harmonious interpersonal relationships, and well-off families... The author places his ideal youth on the protagonist of this book, Gu Yibei, hoping to use Gu Yibei's experience to make up for the regrets in her youth.
"My name is Gu Yibei. I am 13 years old this year. My mother is as strict with me as ever, because she wants me to have a serious attitude no matter what I do. My father loves me very much, but he is away on business all year round and comes home at most twice a month. I also cherish the time I spend with my father. I am still very close to my four best buddies, Lin Ke'er, Guan Yanxi, Song Ziheng and Xing Cheng. We go to and from school together and play together. I am really happy to have them. In most people's eyes, I am a child with excellent grades but a bit naughty, so it has caused headaches for Shangguan's class teacher and my mother. This year, which seems to be no different from previous years, has also undergone some changes. This year, I met two very important people-Ji Nanchen and An Yu. I am really lucky to meet them..."
Purpose: to show vivid youthful group portraits and write about diverse growth and love.
