Mei Shuzhen's Selected Works 07: Mei's Playful Sayings

This is a collection of love letters from a fangirl (now called a fan) who has been obsessed with music and movies since childhood, penned while enjoying her own entertainment. The book is divided into two parts. In "Songs and Singers," Mei Shuzhen reminisces about her former fandom, transforming the melodious music into a profound and moving story. In "Drama and Life," she reenacts these stories of infatuation time and again, then writes about them, ultimately creating this book.
