That was in 2011, and soon after, I ended my exchange student career and left Taiwan.

One day a few years later, a shocking news suddenly happened about Zhou Moyu.

The heirs of Zhou Moyu's estate, her friends Mr. and Mrs. Tang disclosed in the newspaper that Zhou Moyu's published posthumous work was actually an abridged version, and the real ending was not like in the publication.

In that report, Mrs. Tang said this:

In 1987, my husband and I went to the United States to visit Jade, and somehow, Jade was in excellent spirits, which was extremely rare in twenty years...... After eating, she pulled out a wad of manuscript paper and told us that this was her latest work, that she had not yet shown it, and that we were the first readers. Later, she would send the manuscript to her old friend "Lily of the Valley" for review and proofreading for publication. I spent an afternoon reading the manuscript and was shocked, in this book, Yu described herself as completely different from the outside world known her, especially her love life, once the manuscript was published, it will definitely shock the literary world. After reading the manuscript, I talked to her and asked her what she thought, and she replied to me: "Time is short, some things are not unhappy, just like the marriage with Luo Junru was a gamble, I decided to gamble again, confess my heart, and let him go." ”

During this time, Yu answered a phone call, and when she came back, her face had changed back to the silent and gloomy Jade of the past twenty years, and she took the manuscript from me and did not talk to me again. It didn't show up for dinner. Until the middle of the night, I got up and went to the bathroom, and saw the fire flickering on the balcony, and when I got closer, Yu was squatting on the balcony to burn things, she was squatting on the ground in her nightgown, and there was paper burning in the enamel basin...... I pounced on it and grabbed the rest of the manuscript, and sure enough, it was the new work, and more than ten pages had been burned. Fortunately, most of the manuscript was preserved, and unfortunately, the burned one was completely about someone, or rather, the whole thing, Zhou Moyu, who was not known to the world.

Fortunately, I had a talent for remembering since I was a child, and the more than ten pages were already engraved in my mind, and when I returned to my room, I immediately wrote them down from memory...... When it was first published, it was not burned. Now I feel that there are not many days left, and I deeply feel that Zhou Moyu should not be misunderstood by the world, so I disclose the rest of the manuscript. Zhou Moyu's life, let people comment on it.

Not long after, the so-called Zhou Moyu's "burning manuscript" reappeared in the world.

No one thought that the "someone" related to the burned manuscript was actually Chen Shoutang.

Over the years, few people have remembered that there was a person named Chen Shoutang in Zhou Moyu's life. His literary talent is just average, and there is no amazing work, he and Zhou Moyu seem to be gentlemen's friends, in the world's knowledge, except for the feelings of cooperation, they have nothing to do with each other...... But in the part of the manuscript that Zhou Moyu described and burned, it was all him.

1987,1987…… Suddenly, I remembered that in 1987, Chen Shoutang returned to his hometown in Fujian, found his fiancée who was waiting for her for half her life, and ended the relationship with his fiancée.

Come to think of it, the phone call Zhou Moyu received that afternoon was related to this, I don't know which enthusiastic and talkative person conveyed this "good news" to her in time - isn't it good news, the teacher's half a century of waiting finally has a happy ending, who dares to say that this is not a comedy, who dares not to send congratulations?

It's just that the courage she has accumulated for 20 years has just disappeared.

originally wanted to send him half of his life's thoughts, but now he had to put it away gloomily, pretending to be nothing, and if they met again, they would say congratulations to him.

But she couldn't say it, so it was better not to see it.

Until she died in the United States in 1991, she did not see him again for 24 years.
