Features: This collection of short stories narrates various tales set both on and off campus, intertwining the past and the present. It captures the innocence of young girls, the affection between teachers and students, and truly documents the growth journey of her and her peers. The women in the book, whether wandering through small tea houses near the school with books, chatting online, making calls, or basking in the sun, all exude the spiritual essence of the Jiangnan water towns, with their unique and independent leisurely lifestyles. Sip fragrant tea, savor the reading—each gathering and parting reflects youthful insights, while each love story transcends time, delicate and fresh, yet clever and lively. I am delighted to read such passion in her novels. I have always held a stubborn belief that passion for writing is more important than talent. Some people write novels that seem quite good, yet their works reveal no trace of passion. Zhu Jing fluently tells her own stories, and writing is clearly a way for her to express her emotions. She loves this act of storytelling and expression. In other words, because of her passion, I believe she would still write, still become a good writer, even without the support of publishing houses or the praise of readers.
