Description
“The lifespan of a butterfly is between three days and a month, and most butterflies only live for a week.” “Like them, I have only a few months to live, maybe less.” – The first time Hu Die met Jing Yu, he thought she was a world-weary girl who committed su*cide. The second time they met, he told Hu Die indifferently: “If you jump down again today, I’m not saving you again.” Later, she told him: “Jing Yu, don’t feel sorry for me.” Later, Jing Yu returned to the arena and won the glory that belonged to him. Under the flashing lights, he suddenly remembered the girl’s voice, and said a nonsensical remark in front of thousands of people. ——”I’m not sad, I just think that at such a moment, it would be better if you’re here.” “He is a whale swimming in the ocean. One day, a butterfly inadvertently broke into his frequency. That was the most beautiful moment in his life.”

My Thoughts on Butterfly and Whale
"Butterfly and Whale" promised a poignant romance, and it certainly delivered an emotional punch. I went in prepared for a tragedy, but even with that expectation, the story managed to leave a lasting impression. It's a relatively short read, which I appreciated, allowing it to maintain a focused intensity throughout.
First Impressions
From the outset, I was drawn to the premise: a young woman named Hu Die battling cancer meets Jing Yu in the hospital. The setup is familiar, but the execution intrigued me. I was curious to see how the author would handle such sensitive subject matter and build a compelling relationship amidst such challenging circumstances.
What Works Well
The strength of this novel lies in its character development and emotional depth. Hu Die and Jing Yu are both beautifully written, with their individual struggles and contrasting approaches to life creating a fascinating dynamic. I found myself deeply invested in their connection and the way they navigated their shared experiences. The author masterfully portrays the complexities of their relationship, making their bond feel authentic and meaningful. The writing style is also very effective, capable of evoking strong emotions. I was particularly touched by the depiction of Hu Die's relationship with her parents and how their lives were impacted by her illness.
Areas of Concern
While the story is undeniably moving, its reliance on certain familiar tropes might not appeal to all readers. The tragic romance setup, while well-executed, treads familiar ground. Some may find the ending predictable, although I felt it was justified given the characters' established personalities and circumstances.
