Features: In real life, I have seen some people pursuing love. They are as inseparable from milk as infants are from it, yet they have never found love. They all returned to the path of love, wounded and defeated. They suffer for love, just like me. Can love make people forget the pains of the world? People don’t think about this. They simply love, love again and again. They pursue love, whether it brings them pain or not. Oh, dear ones, whenever I think of your longing for love, whenever I think of your frantic pursuit of it, I sigh for you, I grieve for your hurried steps in the quest for love. Please don’t edit my novel—let me speak my mind completely, don’t interrupt me, let me go on. Reading is more natural than watching a movie. You can read alone or with others, and you can stop whenever you’re happy to discuss it. I am an avid reader myself, though I am quite picky. I hope there are more passionate readers like me. When people believe that a beautiful dress can change one’s fate, I want to say that a book can too. Generally speaking, a book is much more economical than a dress—read, buy all the books in the bookstore. Only then will people’s lives be enriched. Those who do not understand art are barbaric. And barbarism is not virtue but a vice, isn’t it? Look at this book, look at this person.
