Ginkgo Leaves on the Desk

Introduction to the work "Ginkgo Leaves on the Desk" In the autumn of her third year of junior high school, transfer student Su Xiao walked into the classroom with young ginkgo leaves in her hair, and became seatmates with Lin Xiaoman, a somewhat introverted Chinese class representative. They shared orange candies and erasers, and agreed to enter a key high school together under the ginkgo tree in the playground. They used flattened ginkgo leaves and notebooks to record the tiny moments of working side by side—the whispers when memorizing words, the encouragement when they couldn't solve a problem, and the paper stars they secretly folded, all became the warmest marks of their youth. However, the first snowfall in December suddenly arrived, and Su Xiao left without saying goodbye, leaving only a notebook filled with ginkgo leaves and an unfinished agreement. Lin Xiaoman held his notebook and continued to move forward in the snowy winter, hiding his thoughts and promises for his friends in the pages of the book, and in every step of his efforts towards a key high school. This is a story about youthful friendship, regret and perseverance. Every ginkgo leaf carries the purest promise of youth and also witnesses the unfinished warmth in growing up.
