Fireflies In Starry Night
Personal memory by Jueqian Fang
1997 • Jinhua, Zhejiang, China
When I was little, my parents would bring me to the North Mountain for summer. It is the mountain located in the north of my hometown, and it is always much cooler than the city. I love the summer nights back then, in the mountain, with the starry sky and fireflies. I don't remember, however, when I couldn't see those fireflies anymore. It was like suddenly found out that all of them moved away, left me behind.
