Xiao Fan, who understands you, walks beside you as a companion. As the lights dim and twilight descends upon the building, one seems to see her red lips parting, her smile radiant; under the starry sky by the bedside, the flickering lights create gentle waves, and one can hear her delightful words, each string of speech weaving endless joy, across the distance of meeting without prior arrangement. Listen to Xiao Fan explain the joys of real life. This book is the sequel to I Lost My Love, a new work by the super-popular radio DJ Xiao Fan.
At the end of time, beyond sound, within words, there are those who share the same dreams. The bittersweet years of youth—you are not alone! Xiao Fan, who understands you, walks beside you as a companion.
From 103-103 is divided into five chapters—Love, Friendship, Career, Family, and Confusion—according to the letters received. Author Xiao Fan responds to each of the 39 selected, diverse yet representative listener letters. Moreover, after some letters that deeply moved Xiao Fan, you will find short, poignant "Mood Notes." With wise and sharp writing, fresh and uncluttered prose, it reveals a genuine heart, an honest attitude, even a self-examining reflection. The book avoids delving into fantastical or vacuous descriptions, instead standing from the perspective of an ordinary person who has also walked through childhood, adolescence, and youth, and who has experienced naive emotions and continues to move forward in life. It tells readers how to face the confusing stages of life and, in the process of reading, allows them to step into the inner world of a radio DJ, understanding the host’s attitude toward family, friendship, and love. Like the illustrations on the insert pages: a dark night street, the zebra crossing illuminated by a single streetlight, casting a reflection of two people walking side by side. Below it, faintly printed: "From 103-103." Walking together through the path of growth, as Xiao Fan says, life has no reservations, and life cannot be bypassed. I hope this book, in some way, can help my listeners take every step well, and more importantly, take the next step they must take!
It is worth mentioning that From 103-103 not only offers compelling content but also stands out in its design. Unlike the pure white cover of I Lost My Love, this book features a blue starry sky on the cover, with the spine reflecting a faint smile of author Xiao Fan. Its narrow, palm-width shape makes the book even more distinctive. The specially designed pages significantly reduce the weight while maintaining a pleasant feel. A special feature is that each copy of From 103-103 has a unique serial number, like an ID, providing every buyer with a unique reason to treasure it. Added to the clever comic illustrations on the inner pages, full-page color and black-and-white photos of Xiao Fan, and the postcards included with the book featuring Xiao Fan as the background, it is clear how much thought and emotion the author poured into this book.
Xiao Fan says she wrote From 103-103 for two reasons: first, to greet her listeners through her responses to their letters, expressing her gratitude for their care and love. Second, she wanted to encourage everyone to see problems from a different perspective and think about solutions in a new way, so that we can cherish life and walk well through every stage of it.
