Features: The birth of this book was a difficult process, accompanied by the spring and even summer of senior high school. Ideals were once bubbles, yet they still fought for the fragile space inside. The internet, three years of lonely writing, was originally meant to pursue that last bit of so-called freedom, but ultimately returned to the reality of being unfree. Heaven and earth were originally connected; it was only because of pain that they were separated. My words are not meant to make you cry with me—they are the traces of heaven and earth kissing. This is a collection of young adult online literary works created by the famous campus internet writer, Liushan Jiaren, who won the first prize in the national "New Concept" essay competition. Before being compiled and published, most of the works were published on the largest middle school website in the country, "foxanddog," and were very popular with readers. This book collects multiple works by the author, including novels, essays, experimental texts, diaries, etc., and vividly depicts and reveals the real-life issues faced by contemporary middle school students, such as exams, college admissions, competition, future prospects, emotions, pressure, confusion, and more. The writing style is bizarre and ever-changing, yet the flow is smooth, with the unique charm and dark humor of campus life shining through the words.
