The Age of Chasing Clouds

In the autumn of 2010, Wei Mingyi, a science champion from a small town, found a line written in pencil on the title page of a copy of "Feynman's Lectures on Physics" in the library: "Being within the cone of light is destiny. So now that we are in the cone of light, does it count as a kind of destiny?" He annotated rebuttals rationally. Little did he know that this casual writing started a six-year entanglement in the fate of Luo Zhenzhen, a freshman in the Department of Fine Arts. He is a "topic maker" with strict logic and shouldering the expectations of the whole family. She is an "idealist" with flexible talent who finds freedom in oil paintings and poetry. From tit-for-tat debates to all-night talks under the stars, from mutual support as volunteer teachers in mountainous areas to painful choices at the crossroads of graduation - their story begins with a debate about "rationality and romance", but eventually leads to a deep exploration of "self and love". On this road, there are blazing ideals in the ivory tower, and cold choices under the torrent of reality; there are clumsy promises under the cherry blossom trees, and there are also long silences on the phone in a foreign country. When the rainbow-colored scarves were knitted and taken apart, when the poem of youth reached its final chapter, they finally understood: Some encounters are not to freeze the moment, but to become the eternal wind that drives each other towards the stars in each other's life.
