| Summary | "玉梨魂" by Zhenya Xu is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the emotional struggles of its main character, Dream Xia, who is deeply attuned to the transient beauty of flowers, particularly the pear blossom, and sympathizes with the fragility of life and love. The narrative delves into themes of longing, sorrow, and poetic sensibility, reflecting the delicate interplay between nature and human emotion. The opening of the novel paints a vivid scene of Dream Xia mourning over the fallen pear blossoms while lamenting the fleeting nature of beauty and existence. As she gazes out the window, she contemplates the duality of life—how one flower thrives while another withers—paralleling her own feelings of melancholy and isolation. Dream Xia's deep appreciation for these flowers leads her to engage in an emotional ritual of collecting and burying the petals, symbolizing her connection to their fate. The narrative introduces readers to her poetic spirit and showcases her struggles with unrequited love, setting the tone for a tale rich in emotional depth and artistic expression.
