It was by chance that I came across this story, and thus visiting Shuimu became inevitable. How clear and pure a feeling it is, like childhood days in spring, with bright sunshine and gentle breezes. —winnesl
I, who never had the courage to read such long articles, somehow finished this one in one go. Although it was already midnight, it was truly worth it. After reading your article, I have so many things I want to say —meggiesnow
I was amazed at how the author effortlessly handles the themes of love and life, making it both realistic and lively. There’s no need for rational analysis of such a text; as long as it moves you, makes you cry, you can no longer ignore its existence. —echovela
I visit the LOVE section every day just to read the friend-recommended Simple Love. I feel that the girl and her love story reveal so much of my own shadow —xixiaowul
In the summer of 2002, Simple Love began serialization on the Shuimu LOVE section, instantly attracting widespread attention. It became the most frequently reposted article at the time, with many netizens eagerly waiting for its continuation on the LOVE section, leading to a surge in the section’s popularity. —love
A long time ago, GG sent me an article from a BBS about a simple love story between two people. GG said, “It’s so much like us.” I replied, “How could it be? Our story is much more exciting. We met under such a fortuitous circumstance, our relationship was quite strange—there were little incidents like losing a bag, a big background of going abroad, and even conflicts between Beiping and Shanghai cultures. If I write it down, it will definitely be more exciting than theirs. I’ll finish this masterpiece and send it to you when I have summer vacation.”
When I said this, GG obviously didn’t believe me. He knew I was lazy and a bit eccentric, unlike most girls who liked to write something to express their feelings. He also knew I was busy and didn’t like spending too much time online. Every time I visited, I’d read the English test and Advanceedu summaries and leave without reposting or spamming. I guessed he thought I didn’t even know about the LOVE section.
However, as the summer was coming to an end and many promises I made to GG were still unfulfilled, I still decided to keep my only promise to him.
