knowing the trajectory of qiu miaojin's life just makes the brutality of the emotion in this book hit a lot harder.

 this book spoke to the loneliest corners of my soul, unraveling emotions i didn’t know i had, leaving me both shattered and understood in a way no other book ever has.
(also, knowing the author’s tragic fate only made the experience more heartbreaking.)

Al principio, no empatizaba con la narradora, pensaba que era muy dramática y exagerada, "está loca, no puede superar su ruptura" Pero, mientras más leía, más me daba cuenta — ese es el punto. No puede superar su ruptura porque Xu era especial para ella, nadie la entendió mejor que Xu y ese dolor de separación la consumió, efectivamente, se estaba volviendo loca. Lo entendí todo porque yo también pasé por algo similar hace mucho tiempo....

I know this is highly rated but I just didn't like the writing style. Found it impossible to get going...
