1. The Answer of Time
Lu Zi Hao’s debut novel, the author of multiple bestsellers!
The story begins with the troubled childhood of a boy named Chen Yi Yang, who was born fragile and raised in the indifference of his parents, the isolation of his peers, and only found comfort in his grandmother’s love. During the years that should have been filled with youth and promise, Chen Yi Yang was trapped in a solid cage made of prejudice and misunderstanding, with no way out.
Upon entering university – a microcosm of society – he tried to fit in, smile, and join endless parties, but he still found himself lost in a never-ending maze of confusion.
Yet on this seemingly endless journey, he never stopped. Eventually, time provided him with an answer.
That answer was Dong Xiao Man – the only girl who had always remained on the ride of Chen Yi Yang’s life, never getting off at any stop, waiting for him to notice her. Time may have stolen the brightness of his youth, but it eventually returned to him the one person who matched his rhythm, someone he had been searching for.
We all face storms in silence on a vast ocean, growing up in harsh and painful ways. But in the end, everything that happens in the past shapes who we are today. No one has the power to turn back time; all we can do is live our best lives and wait for the answer it will bring. Time, though it has never spoken, will always be the answer to everything.
With a slow, tender storytelling style that touches the deepest corners of the reader's heart, Lu Zi Hao creates a heartfelt novel about youth – “The Answer of Time”.
This is not a book you can read in a single sitting, nor a novel you can skim through quickly. Sip it like a cup of afternoon tea, for after a little bitterness, there will be sweetness at the tip of your tongue. Just like after patiently waiting, time will find a way to offer you the answer.

6. Don’t Bow Your Head and Cry. Lift Your Head and Keep Moving Forward
There are moments when you feel like you’ve hit rock bottom, when life seems relentlessly cruel. During such times, we tend to focus on the negative side of things, but what we often don’t realize is that hardship is what helps us grow. If you feel lost amidst your youthful years, don’t be afraid. Let 'Don’t Bow Your Head and Cry, Lift Your Head and Keep Moving Forward' be your guide.
Keep moving forward. The world won’t stop because of your weakness!
Eating alone, at the same place, always ordering the same dish. Strolling through the streets alone, staring longingly at a piece of clothing in a shop window but never trying it on. Working tirelessly, eating leftover crumbs, sipping the last bit of milk from the morning, and trudging home alone, stepping on your own shadow.
If you think this is pitiful, exhausting, or heartbreaking... pause and reflect. At an age where you haven’t yet faced enough of life’s challenges, without a house or car, squishing into crowded buses, working while constantly worrying about the moods of others, speaking and laughing without freedom... is crying all you can do? The world won’t halt for anyone’s sorrow. Life won’t become easier just because someone is shedding tears.
Stop staring at the shadow beneath your feet and lift your gaze. Eating alone... is just waiting for the person who will genuinely want to share every meal with you. You can’t afford everything you desire right now... but that doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. You’re working relentlessly... but one day, your hard work will bear fruit. Yes, as long as you keep your head held high and move forward, nothing will ever stop you.
Once again, Lu Zi Hao’s tender yet profound writing has touched the hearts of millions. 'Don’t Bow Your Head and Cry, Lift Your Head and Keep Moving Forward' might not make your journey any smoother, but it will serve as the best companion to guide your youth, as we all wander, uncertain of where to go.
