A Date on a Sunny Day

In the winter of 2000, twelve-year-old Xie Xinxin used her pocket money saved for a week to buy a tape called "Jay". Little did she know that this decision would change her life. Starting from a tape, she met Wei Rufeng, a boy who also liked Jay Chou. They met in a record store, listened to music on an abandoned iron bridge, sang side by side in a campus singing competition, and shared the same pair of headphones on countless ordinary evenings. Jay Chou's music is like an invisible thread that connects their youth together - from "Xingqing" to "Quiet", from "Fantasy" to "Ye Huimei", each song records a moment on their growth journey. This is the epitome of youth for a generation. From cassette tapes to CDs, from MP3s to streaming media, from campus to society, from teenagers to middle age - times are changing, people are changing, but some things never change. The novel spans forty years and uses Jay Chou's music as a clue to tell a story about growth, companionship, love and perseverance. It not only belongs to Xie Xinxin and Wei Rufeng, but also to every child who grew up with Jay Chou's songs.
