Features: "One year older, one day less, one autumn after another, one generation follows another, one gathering, one parting, one joy, one sorrow. One bed, one body lying, one life, one dream. Seeking companions, meeting here and there, all equally knowing, blowing one time, singing one time." "When I reread these words, my sadness is as deep as a lake. In that lake, my CDs, my scenery, and my seventeen-year-old bicycle sank. No one passed by. They have been sleeping quietly." As the author puts it, this book is "heartbreaking words." These experiences are nothing more than academic confusion and the anxiety of facing senior year graduation, but more importantly, they are the interactions and inner reflections of young people. Read this description: "Later, he noticed me standing outside the door. He looked at me without speaking, his face showing a childlike resistance. We stood there in the darkness, both silent." A resilient personality, a sensitive yet fragile inner self—how have they ever experienced the melancholy and splendor of this world? Maeterlinck once said, "We know each other little, for we have never been together in silence." The same scene, the same silence. One is a symbolist who traversed the 19th century, and the other is a contemporary teenager listening to rock. Completely different life qualities, yet equally unforgettable. What a remarkable generation!
