Features: This is an elegy for youth. During his youth, Ke grew up in confusion and uncertainty. The awakening desire for sex during adolescence made the ignorant and vulnerable Ke relieve himself, steal glances at Jiang Limin's novels. The narrative style of Jiang Limin's novels is pure and simple, and he is good at capturing the emotional nerve endings of characters, portraying the deep pain hidden in their emotions. In that distorted and misty era, youth was actually a luxury. The struggles, confusion, and loneliness of the protagonist Ke reflect the author's own shadow. "Liking" and "disliking" are often beyond one's own choice. This is an elegy for youth, as well as the spiritual history of an era.
