Features: Bestselling work by the internet sensation He Yuanwai, a hit online novel from 2002. In this book, I can smell the freshness of first love, hear the helplessness of vows, and see the miracle of true love. I think the reason everyone loves this short story is the greatest because it's the same as me—we both exist within the "college culture." Reading it feels like reliving the events that happened around me yesterday. Graduated, but love hasn’t faded; He Yuanwai left Shanghai University of Technology, and our college life continues. Reading That Day We All Graduated and Heartbroken, you’re actually reading yourself, reading the university years when we sang along the way. His witty language moves me, and when I get lost in the characters, I can’t help but laugh, but then I feel a faint sense of sadness. When He Yuanwai writes about college love, it gives a nostalgic, almost familiar, and beautiful feeling—it’s something many college friends have longed for and pursued. As you read on, you’ll find you can’t stop, wanting to keep going, not just for the story’s ending, but because you’re drawn back to that distant campus, basking in the sun on the lawn, listening to someone ramble about trivial matters, and realizing life is better when it’s simpler. If a love knows from the beginning that its end date is set, what would the journey of love look like? That Day We All Graduated and Heartbroken tells a love story that blooms in a college campus, with a countdown to its end. The novel follows the pure and beautiful campus romance between the male and female protagonists, He Le and Taozi, vividly recreating the warm, romantic, and vibrant life on campus. With an extremely humorous and witty tone, it deeply portrays the myriad of campus characters—roommates, teachers, lovers, senior students, campus workers, and more. Their joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, dreams and passions.
