"The Ballad of Youth" is published by Beijing United Publishing House. It is the first novel by writer Xu Dong that reflects the good times of the cardamom years. But just by looking at the title, you know that this book must be about beautiful and touching stories about youth. When I received the sample book from the author, it was beautifully bound, with a faint scent of ink, and a dark green cover. On the cover was a young man carrying a luggage bag and carrying a big guitar, followed by small animals like jumping notes on a song sheet. The appearance deeply attracted me to read it completely, and after reading it, I had endless aftertaste.

When the boys and girls were in adolescence on campus, seemingly small things between them gradually turned into big things, changing their lives. destiny.
What attracts me most about this book is the detailed portrayal of the relationships between boys and girls on campus. The language of the novel is delicate and long-lasting, and the colorful campus life described by the author is fascinating. Especially when boys and girls reach puberty, the subtle and complex psychological activities are very vivid, and the longing for the opposite sex triggers each and every one of them to be happy or sad. The story is intriguing.
After reading it impatiently, I couldn’t help but read it a second time. I felt like I was back in my youth, recalling the boy and girl I was at that time. They are so similar to the boys and girls described by the author. It also made me understand that some people’s behaviors that I didn’t understand at the time were normal behaviors in adolescence.
Reading this book, recalling the beautiful youth, what a pleasant life it was. As the author said: Everyone has had youth, and everyone will have youth!
Who doesn’t recall youth? Then let us be like the guitar man on the cover of the book, recalling our youth while reading this book, and in the depths of our hearts, sing the songs of youth that are both bitter and sweet, sad and happy...
