The story centers around a young, introspective character grappling with feelings of alienation and despair as he navigates life as a Chinese student in Japan. As he reflects on nature, poetry, and relationships, the protagonist's emotional turmoil becomes increasingly pronounced, suggesting themes of longing and inner conflict. The opening of the book introduces the protagonist as he experiences profound loneliness and a sense of disconnection from the world around him. He finds solace in nature, often retreating to the countryside with his poetry, yet his mental state deteriorates as he struggles with depression and isolation in a foreign land. As he observes his surroundings, including his interactions with fellow students and a budding infatuation with a local girl, the underlying tension between his yearning for companionship and his self-imposed solitude becomes apparent, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of his complex inner life.
