Special post--English translation of famous Chinese Internet novel--Lichuan's Past
https://binnovel.com/novel-book/li-chuans-past/chapter-28
One of the best novels I have ever read--the characters stay with you forever.
In this chap/episode, Lichuan jumps into a dumpster on a dare by his estranged girl friend Xie Xiao Qui as she does not wish to give up smoking.
Made into C-drama Remembering Lichuan.
Lichuan has never told her he has cancer--
So the poor girl imagines all sorts of things when he completely disappears for 6 years.
I watched the happy parts of the series 3 times and the read the Internet novel which has a happy ending once already.
Just checking again how the TV series differs from the book version.
Truly a great writer and great actors too.
Can't get over the death of the handsome actor Godfrey Gao.
This is a continuation of Valentine's Day post--also close to death anniversary of my father.
