People Who Set Out for the Stars

Others call me a genius. My achievements and art are all "light" to me. Therefore, I feel emptiness. My opponent, Su Bai, turned all the "heaviness" in his life - his mother's illness, family debt, and hatred of being abandoned - into flames directed at me. My deskmate Cheng Zheng is my best friend who is the mirror image of each other. We share a spiritual wilderness of silence and tacit understanding. I thought life would always be like this, continuing in an invisible battle between "lightness" and "heavyness". Until the end of the college entrance examination, the truth about my parents' divorce was like the first falling domino, followed closely by the fatal secret of Su Bai's life experience and mine... My world was completely crushed in an instant. Finally, I fall into darkness At that moment, the person who tried his best to pull me back to the human world was none other than the sister who came from the mountain village and had been surrounded by suffering all her life, Zhao Zhiwei. She used her painting board dyed with the "green sound of cicadas" to tell me: Living itself is the greatest creation. This is a story about collapse and reconstruction. We are all spending our youth looking for the answer to "why do people live": On the ruins of meaning, Sumu learns to bear the "weight" of reality. At the end of the plunder and hatred, Su Bai was looking for a glimmer of redemption. Cheng Zheng builds a path to freedom between family inheritance and self-code. Sister Zhao Zhiwei uses her most tenacious vitality to become the anchor for everyone to connect to "reality". There is no standard answer. This is just a group of scarred young people, stumbling towards their own lives amid love, sacrifice, lies and protection, and in the process, they light up each other's paths.
