It is a book of secrets from time, and it is called secret because many details have been slowly forgotten after being filtered by our present time. Many of these experiences are related to the context of the time in which I grew up, and the greatest feature and function of language for time is to create a system of spiritual roaming by making people have a body of spirit and good. Although it does not have any earthly utility in reality, it does present our story.

Like many people ask me why I write? Every time, I could feel the wind pushing my back, the waves of water soaking my ankles, the clouds piercing through my narrow skylight, someone standing behind me watching the green barley growing, and the legend of the night that left me alone to enjoy the solitude. This book has its time of childhood and adolescence, for which everyone is just a passerby, like wings in the air, which disappear without a trace in an instant.

"Let's Love Each Other" is like a ritual that rises from the bottom of my heart over and over again: is this the soul of a novel? It's a long story from the memory of the times, as if I were the heroine in it, yes, just like how Marguerite Yourcenar felt when she wrote her novel "The Smelt": "All the people who have gone through all the hardships in the book are myself." In fact, the writing of every book ultimately stems from the long history of language. I wanted to write about the background of generation after generation, which is the stage setting for the constant migration of history and civilization; I want to write about the route of people's survival and future, and there is a conflict from human nature in the growth of each generation; I wanted to write about the current state of life's evolving destiny through details; I want to write about the dawn that has come to me because of the ordeal of love.

The narrative from the late eighties of the last century is like a magician constantly changing props: the protagonists are all protagonists and supporting characters, from the era of pop songs to chemical hair dyes, and every memory returns to language in the passage of time. Here, love is dust, brooms, matches, stations, ferries, grain, buttons, needlework, radios, department stores, sewing machines, kites, runaway youth. Love brings lies and promises that will surely pay the price of time. In this book, you and I have experienced the times, love, is to run to the telephone in front of the newsstand in the middle of the street, in the midst of people to make a call.

Love is also the salvation of the self, and the rising star boy who grows up in the sun has become another round of trend in the post-intelligent era, which is a new and old appointment and walking. Three generations are breathing the air of the 21st century, how do we meet again and again and start a new tomorrow? The youngest boy and girl in the book are going through her mother's adolescent rebellion, which are two different rebellious periods, because times have changed, everyone has to fit in, and the relationship between mother and child is in an intelligent narrative, like walking on earth and another planet.

Love requires courage and the light of waiting for the moment when a miracle will reappear. The old man who walks in the book, shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, when the day she puts on her crutches means that she can no longer walk faster. She used to have her own scenery and world outside the circle, before she had no crutches, she used to travel around with the people in the circle, and she was once stolen by cyber scammers to steal the money on her bank card, this is the era of mobile phones, she carried her mobile phone in her bag, supported her crutches, and when she went to pursue her Twilight Eye, she saw a flock of flamingos by the lake that made her life full of hope. In this book, this old man seems to be my mother, and it is like the root of my mother tongue.

Wing is a rebellious youth in the novel, and later, he sets up an animal shelter where all animals that wander in the city are brought in. Love requires power. Love is not just a relationship between men and women, love is more about our connection with the world. Love is not about relying on each other, but about using your relationship in the world to find the direction of love. In addition to the love of men and women, the existence of each person walks with love, and with this comes all the arduous journey of exploration that is loaded for love. Love takes time, and it is only in time that we find the magic of love: everything we lose is the reappearance of what we have gained.

Why do we need love? The speed is already very fast, whether we will slow down in the form of art and relive the years when the past has passed with the wind is also a process of growing again. When I was in the novel, a woman's adolescence and rebellious period, I met the stage of more social changes, so I slowly ripen like a fruit. When the wings in the novel look for a rebellious lifestyle, he grows through his speed every day, his eyes are bright, and the spiritual world is running in the direction of self-consciousness. He took in so many urban stray animals, as well as the life of sunflowers, and she finally came to the snow-white Meili Snow Mountain and fulfilled her dream wish.

This is a long novel about love, how do we love ourselves in today's intelligent world? To love others again? No matter how the life of the people on the earth changes, the art of love and life are the beacons that accompany us to live, and we are walking towards the road with love to have a beacon: there are human stories in every storm and lightning in this world, and every fragment in the book is an episode in life, and after every ordeal has passed, we will calm down the trembling body and obtain new hopes and dreams.

This novel travels through three generations of youth, through the many problems and unexpected events of life's impermanence, and when writing this book, I often return to the small county towns of a bygone era, where I look for the songs and dreams of that generation from the late eighties. As I wrote this book, I was surrounded by young people of their generation like Wings and Sunflowers, and I breathed in their youthful breath and felt the speed under their wheels, and they walked into my book and became the youngest new generation in my novels. "Let's Love Each Other" may be a dream book. There are countless possibilities for dreams, and any person or scenery you can see, if you get closer, it means goodbye. Only those invisible clouds, invisible roofs, invisible souls, shop, as long as we meet love, this is a long-term dream.
