A memorable campus life snapshot: portraits on desks, smelly sneakers, thermoses in female dorms, book bags floating on parallel bars – Grassland II. With over 10,000,000 copies circulated among college students, it’s a campus classic that continues and expands upon Grassland I. The growing Sun Rui uses more refined black humor, making you laugh heartily while also feeling a touch of sadness. Through real and relatable stories, it records the era of you, me, and him.
The romance between Qiu Fei and Zhou Zhou, which readers have been following, gets its big conclusion in Grassland II. Sun Rui says, looking back at Grassland, he feels the writing was rough and the plot naive. Grassland II is undoubtedly an upgraded version of Grassland I. The growing Sun Rui uses even more refined black humor, making you laugh heartily while still feeling a touch of sadness. It truthfully depicts the lives of young people in Beijing in their 20s, a youth memorial that tells and records growth. It records the era of you, me, and him.
