My humble piece of work could be presented here to you all thanks to our translator’s hard work. This story’s focus isn’t certain ideologies, but of young men’s simple and tenacious relationships under the austerity of war, as well as the sheer yearning to peace of us all. If you could enjoy the reading experience, it will be my biggest pleasure.


Translator:

It’s my great pleasure to translate this piece of work. When I first finished the story, a strong sentiment seized me—a nostalgia of the innocence, passion and laughable seriousness only possessed by a young heart; then, the petal of youth quickly withered and you mourn over your dying prime with a more worldly outlook. I’m also deeply thankful to those who sacrificed their lives and were forever buried under foreign ground. As composer Shostakovich said in a speech in 1941, “when the war is over, peace and happiness rule upon Earth, each one of us should be able to say with pride: ‘Yes, I fought against Fascism and for a better future’.”


Illustrator:

I still remembered when someone recommend this RoChu fic to me. Afterwards, I read in a silentmidnight. Then,while the outside became bright, I found myself already in tears……

In addition, we’d like to thank for for the proofreading.
