Features: Scattered shots, reversed clock; magnificent youth, grand performance! Selected from the supplement of "Mengyuan," praised by readers! Author Lin Jingyi is like a lotus emerging from the water, a beauty of Jiangnan. I have videoed with her, readers don't doubt it. I remember back then, as a reader reading "Reverse Clock," I was sitting on the balcony of my dormitory, smoking, with a haggard face, as if I had gone through a heart-wrenching love.
—Pan Lang, known as the "sentimental" writer of the "80s generation." Lin Jingyi's "Reverse Clock" is undoubtedly a grand youth idol drama.
—North Border Medicine King, author of the long "Singing While Walking," and editor of the "Farewell '80s" series. I can tell you in a gossipy way that 80% of the descriptions of Shanghai and "203" in the novel are true. At that time, we were participating in the New Concept Composition Competition.
—Chen Xiaohu, winner of the second prize in the 6th New Concept Composition Competition. Failed in the junior high school entrance exam, Feng Yiman chased her dreams to a vocational school to study film and television performance, yearning for a dazzling youth. Her roommate, Rongrong and Feifei, had complicated friendships with Feng Yiman. The three girls developed from liking each other to arguing, jealousy, and even breaking up, even forming the "SUI Family" to discipline each other, which led to a huge storm.
Regarding love, Feng Yiman was like performing a youth idol drama, with one boy after another passing by her side. She reached out, and Feng Yiman held the outstanding Beibei, completely falling into the sweet and sour ups and downs, thrilling love. But at the most brilliant moment, a maliciously manufactured misunderstanding made them break up inexplicably.
Unexplainable fate made Feng Yiman and Beibei meet dramatically, leaving unforgettable memories. But, who can grasp the elusive youth? Feng Yiman finally left with a withered lily, drifting far away.
Several years later, after finding her life's dream, she returned to China as a reporter for a vacation. In the vast crowds of the Lujiazui subway station, she seemed to see Beibei's warm smile. Has the dazzling youth ended? The sorrow and confusion of growing up are like a reversed clock. The semi-autobiographical novel "Reverse Clock" uses genuine passion to write heartbeating words, comforting the pain of growing up. This book was selected from the supplement of "Mengyuan" in July of this year and was wildly loved by countless girls.
