Synopsis:
There is a kind of fighter jet called the “Wild Weasel,” modeled after the appearance of a wild weasel. It is not the most powerful weapon, but because it can refuel in the air, it is able to stay in the sky for a long time—forever, in fact.
A woman gave a Wild Weasel fighter jet to a man.
He thought she loved him, but her love was for another man. She spent ten years on him, and he was her everything. However, the man who promised to love her for seventy summers stripped her of her dignity. The summer quietly passed.
Love, it turns out, is like drinking poisoned wine with a smile, breaking the heart and liver, yet never regretting it.
The Wild Weasel, which had lost its dignity, flew away. He left, and only then did she realize that it was he who had given her dignity.
She is the protagonist, Qiu Huan’er, who had created a dream of childhood sweethearts and entered it. By the time she woke up, nothing was as it was before, and when she turned back, she realized the door was locked, and the key was lost outside—she could not get out.
She almost missed happiness by just a little. But then, with a creak, the door opened, their eyes met, and there was still longing. However, through everything they had gone through, both of them were covered in dust. Women in this world are often sentimental and fickle, always hoping for two kinds of men to appear in their lives: one who loves and one who is loved. How perfect that would be. But how many men are there who can stay true to a woman through the lush years? Perhaps what moves us is precisely what is so rare in real life.
This book uses beautiful language to showcase the inner world of a girl, expressing her pursuit of ideal love. Though it is a novel, it is as beautiful as a lyrical essay. After reading it, one will naturally taste a subtle flavor, like clear tea—bitter, yet awakening.
The novel is titled Goodbye, Wild Weasel because there is a fighter jet called the Wild Weasel, modeled after the wild weasel’s appearance. It is not the most powerful weapon, but because it can refuel in the air, it can stay in the sky forever. In love, we all hope for eternity, but reality often deviates from our wishes. The dialogues in the story are particularly wonderful and full of philosophical insights about love.
