Features: Every child will have a crystal-clear youth like dewdrops. Sometimes, I wish I could gather all of you by my side, reading books and watching the moon, talking until the day breaks and the night falls. It's those slightly sour sentiments—youth always appears in your eyes with its own myriad colors, expanding until you forget this world, only then do you forget your slightly sour youth. Every teenager will experience the growth of bittersweet pain. Words remain the most effective way to record our emotions and lives, and this collection will undoubtedly become one of the warmest memories brought to us in 2004. May our lives no longer be shattered by the east wind. May our thoughts become meaningful. Every adult was once a child gazing at the sky. Growth is painful, and no one can truly refuse to grow. We will all grow, age, and disappear. But you must understand that as long as at any moment someone understands you, you are happy. These sensitive and melancholic children write about their own stories and emotions. They are talented yet eccentric, innocent yet rebellious, imaginative yet aloof and self-enclosed. They call themselves "the rotten children of this era." Their words are dreamlike, mysterious, and enigmatic, filled with the desolate beauty of the end times. They interpret a different kind of purity belonging to this era through a negative facade.
