The novel presents us a dialogue about friendship, love, affection, homesickness and dreams that takes place on the letter paper. From “memory on the paper” to the end, the story is told in 35 chapters with multiple threads and strong inner connections. By digging into the novel, this paper tries to analyze the method in which the novel can be clearly presented and to explain the skills in which the emotion and characters are portrayed.
