When I wrote this last word, I still felt a little unreal, and I couldn't believe that I had finally finished writing this story. Because this book is not very easy for me to write compared to my previous works. It took three years and three overturns and rewrites to finally find the feeling I wanted, especially when I stopped writing for nearly a year because of the college entrance examination, and the people in the story were once scattered far away from me, but they were finally not forgotten by me.

This story is a little different from the previous stories, most of the joys and sorrows I have depicted can be based on the word "friendship", but for the theme of this book, I think the word "grievances" is more appropriate. Indeed, it is precisely because of Yue Xuan and An Tiankuo, Yue Ming and An Lengyao, An Lengyao and Jun Nuochen, Lingye and Phantom...... The grievances between them are what create the joys and sorrows of this whole story. Although it is called "Dust Like a Dream Before the Falling Cherry Blossoms", it is completely different from "Falling Cherry Blossoms" and has its own style.

However, how to explain the word "grievance", until I finished writing this book, I was still confused. Perhaps, it is precisely because of my confusion that I have this book. As I grew up, I suddenly realized that the grievances and entanglements in this earthly world are endless, and the friends and sisters who have grown up with you will eventually break up with you overnight, and turn into a person you don't know and make you feel cold. Between grievances and grievances, most people only remember "grievances", and most of those who remember kindness will be bullied by such people. In the final analysis, this grievance is because of the unpredictability of people's hearts. The human heart is really the most complicated thing in the world.

Three years ago, I was fifteen years old, and now I am eighteen years old, and I am no longer the young child who used to be sad for a long time because of quarrels with friends. In the past three years, I have changed from an "informal" "child of the rivers and lakes" to a girl who has gradually converged her personality, I have finally grown up, and I have gained a plain but peaceful friendship as I wished, and made a group of like-minded friends in the "third-rate" small crew built by my classmates. At the same time, I also recognized some people, and some people are drifting away in the journey of life, although they have been together, but they are ultimately different.

My characters have finally grown up with me, faded a little younger, a little more mature, and the joy of laughing and playing gradually turned into the pain of being speechless and inseparable from each other. It was a fantasy dream, but in the end, it was smoothed out by reality. However, I always remember what Aunt Qiong Yao once said: Despite countless ups and downs in life and many setbacks, I still believe in "love", believe in "goodness", and tell the "true feelings" of human beings, which has always been the theme of my writing. I believe that this will be the eternal theme of my pen.

In fact, there are no real villains in this book. Even Jun Nuochen, everything he does is for his sister after all. At the beginning of human beings, nature is good, and no one will embark on that road of no return at the beginning. As for Jun Nuochen, he was just a supporting character in the book, when I first planned this whole story, I didn't even have this person, but I could write and write, his warmth and calmness touched my heart, and I was still wondering why he ran into my pen, but I had unconsciously given him so many arrangements.

Jun Nuochen is indeed a tragedy, he should have called the poem "Strangers are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world", but because of that obsession that should not have plunged himself into the abyss, on the one hand, he was disgusted with his bloody hands, afraid that his sister would hate him, and on the other hand, he had to go farther and farther in the dark night...... When I wrote about the moment he threw himself into the fire, I breathed a sigh of relief for him, and he was finally freed from the obsession he had carried all his life, and from now on everything in the world had nothing to do with him, and what misfortune was there for him.

But after all, I feel sorry for the man who should be gentle as jade, but has become unrecognizable due to obsession......

At the end of the story, the picture of Yue Ming and An Lengyao looking at each other, and the rest of the things were exhausted one by one in "Falling Cherry Blossoms", and their antagonism was doomed in "Falling Cherry Blossoms", but I still want to make up for their previous lives and restore those past events that have been hidden by time.

From the age of 11 to the age of 18, writing has occupied my time for seven years, accompanied me through the confused years of growth, and in the future, I firmly believe that the pen will always rotate at my fingertips, accompanying me to write different legends. Along the way, the mood of writing is changing, the emotions are changing, only the original intention has always been remembered, and it has never been disappointed.

Whether I'm eighteen or eighty, I hope I'll always be a girl who writes with a passion for writing and depicts the endless legends of the world......
