My youth is not sorrowful

Author: Li Wei

Features: The author says: In this era, there are more ordinary, kind, and conventional people. Those around me live more disciplined lives than I do. In my view, the emergence of harsh novels perfectly reflects the common problems of today's youth. Li Wei and his friends are indeed part of this group of young people, but their worth lies not only in their kind nature but also in the sense of responsibility they carry as men—towards their loved ones, friends, families, and even society. Li Wei and his friends are young and capable, they make mistakes, they get lost, and they awaken. When the past becomes a burden, they look forward instead of dwelling on their own sorrows. Each character in the novel is highly representative: the slippery fly, the sincere Axi, the adorable mosquito, the charming Zhou Cheng, the stubborn Cool, the beautiful A Xun, the influential Ni Ba, and the cool and stylish Guo Zi.
