200K0

This book is a non-fiction work that writes a sincere love story of the older generation that is both simple and romantic. In the spring and summer of 1984, Zhang Chongbo and Luo Shujing met in the "Chunmeng Poetry Society" of Lushi County, Henan Province. In the summer of 1985, Luo Shujing went to Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province to visit relatives and friends, study and find a job. Since Zhang Chongbo wrote his first letter to Luo Shujing in the spring of 1986, the two began a five-year correspondence career, with swans flying back and forth between the two sides of the Yellow River. The two changed from friends to lovers, got married, and finally came together, and the lovers finally got married. By compiling hundreds of letters between the lovers born in the 1960s, this work not only presents the brilliant sparks of love between two young hearts that constantly collide, but also discusses the social development, customs, and literary works of the time. It authentically reflects the real social landscape of the 1980s and can be called a footnote of an era.
