"I must survive."
I loved how important and sensitive topics like depression, suicide, addiction, alcoholism, loneliness, self-destruction, family trauma, childhood trauma and so many other were addressed Simply, depth and accuracy. A story about 7 young men who are desperately trying to survive. and how their paths intersected together to be a refuge and a reason for the success of some and a hope and role model for the other.
I enjoyed it quite a lot and i might have cried while reading! I loved them allso much. It's a perfect epitome of the phrase 花樣年華 or 'the most beautiful moment in life'.
