Flowery Chinese Years

Why is the first volume a little messy and sad? Probably because the first volume is the final conclusion, where all the characters come to the end of their green years. The first volume, "The Last Straw", is a story from March to June in the second semester of senior high school. It was a chaotic ending, and then the birds fled to the forest. Volume 2, "Tracing the Source or Disappearing into Ashes", is from December in the first semester of senior year to February in the second semester of senior year. This is the most intensely conflicting part of the book, and it was finalized after repeated revisions. The entire volume was shrouded in a dark, black sky filled with cold snow. This volume tells the story of Xi Jia's love for Dong Yang, Jiang Mei's resentment towards Yang Bing, their past and present. Their intricate relationship may be traceable here, or perhaps it is just the wishful thinking of Xi Jia and Jiang Mei. The third volume, "Reason and Principle", from the summer vacation at the end of the second year of high school to November of the first semester of the third year of high school, Yang Bing and Jiang Mei are the main line. The two understand each other's feelings in this volume, and Dong Yang Xijia is the supplement. The two branches run parallel to each other and go in roughly the same direction. This can be regarded as a stable stage of the relationship between the four of them, and it is the basis for everything in the future, that is, the second volume. The major and minor incidents planted during this period also became the source of the eventual conflict. The overall tone is plain, warm, and crazy. Volume 4, "Limited Possibilities", runs from March to June in the second semester of the sophomore year of high school. Life confined to a high school campus is inherently single and predictable. However, within these limited possibilities, each of us has still found our own path. This volume coincides with the brilliant spring and summer seasons. Dong Yang Xijia is the main character, and the two established their love here, with Yang Bing and Jiang Mei as the supplements. It is the prologue to the story to come. Volume 5, "I", first semester of the second year of high school. This volume has just been divided into arts and sciences. Yang Bing, Jiang Mei, Xijia, Dongyang and others entered the same arts class. Yang Bing and Jiang Mei, Dong Yang and Xijia met for the first time. The story revolves around Jiang Mei's confusion and Xi Jia's regret. Other characters such as Bai Yinyin, Zhou Tingran, Cheng Feng, etc. Are also mentioned. The chaos is slightly similar to the first volume. However, the first volume is about everyone going their separate ways after the chaos. This volume is about finding one's belonging on campus amidst the chaos. Volume 6, "First Arrival", first year of high school. The purpose is probably to show a sense of illusion and absurdity. In this volume, the main characters in the book are not in the same class and have never met each other, but it still reads with a different flavor. In addition to Yang Bing, Jiang Mei and Dong Yang Xijia, who were later heavily featured, this volume also features Yan Xuan and Du Wen. These two are probably the earliest characters in the book, and many extras have been written about them, which will be included at the end. Their stories are worth reading too. The text ends here. The extra parts are currently decided on these parts: "Silhouette", which records some dramatic daily life, and will try different narrative methods at the same time, and has very few overlaps with the main text; "Excerpt", which writes some stories about the growth of the main characters. , The current characters are Yang Bing, Jiang Mei, Qin Dongyang, Jiang Xijia, Liu Yanxuan, and Du Wen, which have no overlap with the main text; "Final Chapter", a little bit of reverie about each character, must have an ending, it is the story that happened after the last chapter of the first volume.
