Features: For a long time, reading stories about youth and love has given me two completely opposite feelings. Most original mainland novels seem to be developing towards a gloomy and somber tone. The more I read, the more discouraged and even desperate I become, losing hope and dreams for love and even for young life. The world seems destined to be cold and merciless. In contrast, Taiwan and Hong Kong novels on the same theme seem sunny, as if I were in a paradise outside the world. The stories only feature handsome men and beautiful women, with only romantic and warm scenes and atmosphere. That cold world seems to be left in another hemisphere.
