She portrays the hearts of boys and girls filled with sunshine and fragrant flowers, while also depicting the awkwardness, complexity, and the joys and pains of transformation and metamorphosis during their growth. Qin Wenjun has successfully created numerous artistic images of boys and girls, such as "Jiali, the Boy" and "Jimei, the Girl," which will shine forever in the hall of artistic images in children's literature.

This volume includes two full-length novels: "The Autobiography of Liu Gezi, a Teenager" and "Luozi, the Orphan." In "The Autobiography of Liu Gezi, a Teenager," the protagonist Liu Gezi is a tall boy in his third year of junior high school but possesses a delicate and sensitive heart. He calls himself Mr. Misfortune, but in reality, his misfortunes are both interesting and fun. He lives a legendary life in an old house left to him by his father, resisting others' closeness and care. Finally, one day, a stranger enters his private kingdom. The young protagonists in these two works, like orchids, face the storms of life with composure and unflappability.
