Features: The comic "Farewell," presents the consistently subdued, cool style in Anni Baby's works, with delicate brushwork that nearly perfectly interprets the self-awareness and thoughts that have moved countless urban men and women in her works—such as the impermanence of life and love like the wind. Such stories and people, once you read them, are unforgettable—a man named Lin, who loves coffee, enjoys dark places, and has sex with different women. But it's hard for him to find his beloved. He wears cotton shirts, uses blue-checkered handkerchiefs, wears laced leather shoes, never wears white socks, uses a manual razor, wears grass-scented perfume, drinks coffee as if it were water, and is very thin. Among real people, he has no rivals. He can only seek love in the records of Paganini. Later, he meets VIVIAN and calls her Wei-an. On those nights, he tells her about his childhood, his first love, his broken family, all the darkness and light within him. VIVIAN is a girl who exists between reality and illusion. Everything about her, Lin doesn't quite understand. In his subconscious, she might be Wei-an. Thus, Lin's feelings for Wei-an are projected onto her. He thinks this is love. Quietly drinking coffee with her, gently touching her pale fingers. The death of Qiao and the man living with VIVIAN make him start searching for Wei-an. He doesn't want it to just be a game, but he doesn't know that this love has reached its end. Love without makeup is originally sorrow.
