Or maybe it's the first time in ten years of reading that I like an author so much. Since my internship, I have been in a state of constant failure and hopeless future. The various scandals this year have made me dizzy and disheartened. I broke down while walking on the zebra crossing and cried, using Shashan Zaoyue as comfort. Now standing at the crossroads of graduation, Fure said that the error tolerance rate in life is actually very high. Some things now feel like holes in the sky. Looking back in a few years, they may be as big as forgetting to bring homework in elementary school. In fact, I can't achieve the resoluteness and relief of the characters in the novel, but the existence of these stories is another possibility, which makes people at least have a little courage to move forward. Isn't that what novels are for?
There are only 140,000 words, but I read it for five or six hours.
"They all hope that the other person will choose the latter between choosing 'love' and being firm in 'self' - otherwise, that person is not the person they love."
They are attracted by the charm of each other's "self" and cannot take their eyes away, even though that is the part of themselves that they can least understand and accept. People are like this. They know that roses have thorns, but they still flock to them, even if they prick themselves until they bleed. On the one hand, they loved each other deeply, but on the other hand, they broke into endless quarrels, so their love was consumed bit by bit in the quarrels.
Duan commented that they are very LaLaLand, and I think so too. This novel is like another solution to LaLaLand, just as Mia never accepts Sebastian's choice of the latter between ideal and reality, so they part ways. But even if Mia and Sebastian realize their dreams, there is no possibility of getting back together, while Lin Congjun and Xiao Jingwen spent five years learning to reflect and tolerate, and then the two reconciled. People's circumstances are different. Some people have regrets while they are happy, and some people have regrets and then become happy.
