Summary

Xiaozhao was once visually impaired—who exactly was it whose cornea restored her sight? Her mother or her lover? Is the endless murmuring delirium, or a lover's longing? Who is the man who vowed to make a hundred thousand prostrations? And why did Old Chen and Old Jia really come to Lhasa? Are they real, or do they live only in Xiaozhao's dreams? What is the truth? The truth doesn't matter—each sees it differently. As Suolang Daji said, the most romantic thing in this world is not the vow to follow each other through life and death in love, nor a lifetime of waiting; the most romantic thing in this world is to take your hand and lead you to the exit of samsara. If you lose your way, if you wander astray, then in the next life, no matter how many lifetimes it takes, I will find you and bring you back. In Lhasa, Xiaozhao moves between her memories and reality, and finally understands that love is walking toward the light. This is a story about farewell, and also a saha world. Without regret, no amount of happiness can let you feel joy; conversely, with the happiness and sweetness of the past, even if the ending is regretful, looking back, there will still be the softest memories at the bottom of your heart.

Editor's review

Farewell Love is an emotional novel by Zi'an that explores, with delicate strokes, the complex interweaving of farewell and love in modern relationships. Set against urban life, it focuses on the inner struggles and growth of its characters; the plot is tightly designed, and the emotional expression is genuine and restrained, avoiding excessive sentimentality. As a new-generation writer, Zi'an has a fresh, natural style and excels at capturing subtle moments in everyday life, giving the story a strong sense of immersion. In terms of content value, this book is not only an entertaining read but also offers deep reflection on human nature, loneliness, and connection, making it suitable for readers seeking emotional resonance in a fast-paced life. Overall, it is a work worth savoring quietly; although its literary depth may not match that of classic masterpieces, it displays a distinctive delicacy and sincerity among novels of the same emotional genre.

About the author

子安 Author

Zi An is an author about whom limited public information is available. Two works are currently known: The Collected Works of Yasushi Inoue: Fūrin Kazan and Parting Love. Judging from the categories under which these works are usually listed, Zi An's writing spans foreign literature and social fiction, showing attention both to presenting literary works from abroad and to narrative writing on social reality. The Collected Works of Yasushi Inoue: Fūrin Kazan is connected with the Japanese writer Yasushi Inoue, indicating Zi An's involvement in the translation or compilation of foreign literature, while Parting Love, to judge from its title and classification, leans toward social fiction centered on emotion and social relationships. Because birth and death dates, nationality, and biographical details are not clearly recorded, a full picture of Zi An's writing is difficult to outline; nevertheless, the subject matter of the two known works suggests an interest in both foreign literary resources and social themes, leaving traces of practice in the dissemination of foreign literature and in social fiction.
