Features: The passion of dreams once dreamed, songs once sung, and people once loved always lingers from yesterday to the day before yesterday. Time can only chase back the present. In a word, what once seemed earth-shattering and dizzying upon hearing it then, now, after the passage of years, is met with a calm smile and a detached response: "Really?" "Yesterday" is Chunzi's fifth book, with gentle words transcending time: from the Shikumen of Shanghai to the Roman public bath, from the leisurely stroll of Eileen Chang holding hands with Hu Lan Cheng in 1946 to the lonely heart of Liu Ruoying yearning for love. She uses a mature and wise prose style, combined with delicate and sensitive details, to unfold a pure world. Sometimes, Chunzi hides herself behind the words, merely recording the plot. It seems like a novel but without the tedium of long reading. You can pick it up anytime and start reading at any chapter.
