Dream Goddess

Chen Yan, an old single man from a small town in northwest China, dropped out of high school to engage in farming and business, and spent half his life in poverty. In reality, he is silent and timid, with only words as his companion, but in his dream, he returns to his childhood and reunites with his deskmate Ling. The heartbeat of the twelve-year-old remained unspoken, and the regrets of his life turned into creative obsessions. He wrote the novel "The Goddess Ling in Dreams", incorporating bits and pieces of dreams into his writing. When I was fifty years old, I finished the manuscript and finally understood: the dream is not about escape, but about reconciliation. To youth, to regret, and to the girl walking in the rain. A novel, looking back half a lifetime, all the unsaid things are fulfilled in dreams.
