Features: Love is a timeless theme in life. Unfortunately, stories that move people seem to be getting fewer and fewer, making us wonder: Could it be that people in the E no longer talk about true love? Until we discovered Jiang Xuan's novel, that unique depth, calmness, and subtlety belonging to young women, that power to reveal the essence of love in a single word, leaving us heartbroken and moved before we could even defend ourselves, forces us to hold our breath and think – it turns out that the beauty and sorrow of love have never been forgotten. Starting with a cat and a Christmas Eve, passing through a Zhongxiao East Road, through a jewelry store, three coffee shops, and three pubs, we end up with another cat and a fourth Christmas Eve, where you and I, in places close to each other, pass each other by from afar. Love is a luxurious indulgence, but the ending is often sad. When in love, one can turn their life upside down for them, even drink poison and commit suicide, all because they feel they deserve it. When not in love, the person sits across from you, unable to be erased, seeing their breathing, and it all feels like an eyesore. That's just how life is.
