Features: Love is such a luxurious emotion, like a bridge spanning across a desolate heart, bringing a boy closer to a girl. Yet, even when holding hands, no one knows what lies ahead on the journey. Is the end of the river the eternal wandering? The roamers are a group of love that doesn’t fit well in the city. He can be her loyal crutch and guide dog in her dark world, but he cannot return to the light with her. In a world with sunlight, crutches and guide dogs are always unnecessary. The old man told him, "Love needs walls on all sides and a roof above." All love, after its climax, must decline. Like the famous high note C of Parry, it cannot always be at the pinnacle; it must return to the mortal world, to the hustle and bustle of human life. In love, a woman is truly beautiful. Reading about others’ love often reveals something about oneself. This book selects more than twenty stories from the "Love City" column, collected memories, sadness, passion, and obsession. The process is so long and arduous, as if some emotions never fade. But this is the very essence of love.
