Chapter 2 preface

I came back to China during the winter and did some final work before the book was published.When I handed over everything about this book to my editor, I suddenly felt so reluctant. I have been with this book for half a year, often at night, I sit in front of the computer with a glass of ice water, face to face with it.For some affectionate passages, I usually read them softly while typing, as if talking to them.Sometimes I want to write in the school's laboratory or computer room, so I store it in a mobile hard drive and take it with me.The process of making illustrations is like tailoring clothes for it. My friends and I have made the most beautiful floral clothes for it with great care.So along the way, it's like my baby.In the past six months, I have been with me day and night, have seen my hearty smile, seen my weak cry, spent my birthday with me, and experienced long-distance travel with me.The most important thing is that he is a very understanding child. He can always jump out when I am most depressed, comfort me, and let me see endless hope ahead.

It's a name I like very much.My friends around me also like it.A friend said, what a melodious name.You calm down and say the word "far" again, "far——", and you will feel the word "far" gently drifting away from the tip of your tongue.The mouth shape is smooth and the pronunciation is gentle.What a memorable character this is.And cherries are almost the most beautiful fruit in my heart.I love the brightly colored and rounded fruit.It can remind people of delicate girls, clear youth, or sweet love.I even often feel that they symbolize a kind of happiness that has been carved by time and finally arrived.In this book, I want readers to see a life of two girls seeking happiness.In the book, I mentioned the dense and prosperous cherry forest many times, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.In my opinion, there must be such a cherry grove in everyone's heart, which is always ahead, attracting people to run in that direction.However, how many people have really reached the cherry grove of their dreams?How many people really hold in their hands the happiness they crave?As I said in the book, happiness is endless, but it is hard to reach.It can make people feel like they have been poisoned and imprisoned in shackles, but it can easily save people from desperation and give them bliss.

Sometimes when I read the words I wrote before, I can vaguely think of the dreams I had at that time and the happiness I longed for.I'm not a serious gardener, but I can't help planting a lot of dreams in this book.Looking back many years later, the former cherry forest has flourished like a big cloud.Just drifted across my sky.
