The Invisible Balcony, The Hug Sister Slope, The Angel Knows I Love Him, and A Beautiful Accident are four youth picture novels that Wu Meizhen and Yu Yujun have devotedly launched. This series of novels is composed of a magnificent garment formed by the vibrant spirit of youth, the dynamic emotions of youth, and the magnificent yet innocent dreams of youth. Yu Yujun’s works have always infected readers with the vibrant spirit of youth. Her words are full of vitality, liveliness, tension, and a sense of fashion. The Angel Knows I Love Him is a collection of four short stories. Her short stories largely resemble youthful declarations full of energy, or like fluttering youthful banners. A Beautiful Accident is composed of four short stories. Yu Yujun often enters her works in the first-person perspective, freely observing and portraying the young men and women around her, while also effortlessly expressing her own inner world and emotions. Wu Meizhen’s The Invisible Balcony and The Hug Sister Slope are two long novels full of exploratory elements. The protagonist of The Invisible Balcony is a sixteen-year-old girl who personally witnesses her aunt’s innocent yet persistent love. In the book, she is both a witness and a participant. In a sense, this is a book that reflects the theme of "education of love." Her aunt’s attitude toward love—determined, patient, and hopeful—is full of fairy-tale-like and idealistic colors. In Wu Meizhen’s novels, there is a thick, indissoluble tenderness. This is one of the main reasons her works are so well-received by readers. The Hug Sister Slope is a long novel that tells the story of the between sisters from a broken family. She vividly portrays the strong-willed, jealous, selfish, and narrow-minded psychology of young girls. Whether in The Invisible Balcony or in The Hug Sister Slope, the author skillfully constructs her stories based on the correspondence between characters’ personalities and destinies. Moreover, she reveals the inner world of characters and the emotional conflicts between people very accurately. Both of these long novels carry a tragic hue. Wu Meizhen likes to gradually destroy these beautiful emotions and humanity in a very elegant way, allowing us to understand the importance of cherishing and protecting them. Her works are all tinged with a melancholic mood. The illustrations in this set of youth picture novels can be said to be an interpretation of the works’ imagery. Every detail related to youth is vividly depicted. Although youth is a magnificent garment, it also carries the taste of tears and the feeling of pain.
