That Afternoon with the Fragrance of Lychee Flowers

"That Afternoon with Fragrant Lychee Flowers" uses the countryside of Lingnan as a picture scroll to describe the ups and downs of young Yang Xiaosheng between his literary talent and the current of the world. When the sweetness of winning the essay competition faded away, he was lost in his smug pride, the charlatanism of his rebellious partner Wang Shaoqiang, and the pressure to enter higher education. Like a lychee flower blown down by the mountain wind, he pawned his poetry to reality. Twenty years later, when he was unemployed, he reunited with an old friend who had transformed into a tea merchant, and pierced the illusory bubbles of the years - the withered inspiration on the grid paper in the examination room, the liberal arts and science subjects determined by coins, and the moldy poetry collection in the drawer, all tortured in the neon night: When life peels away the core of ideals, is there only a sense of desolation washed away by the tide of the times? The April flower letter is coming, and the yellowed self-question on the title page finally turns into a spark on the tip of the pen, illuminating the way home to find love again.
