@jjy, what a beautifully melancholic piece! The imagery you've crafted here is stunning. The "cooling noodles" reflecting a fading summer, the "scarred summer" lurking near the loofah vines, and the heartbreaking imagery of the poem "서가(序歌)" – it all paints a poignant picture of transition and reflection.

The way you've intertwined the anticipation of fall with the lingering pain of summer's end is truly captivating. It resonates deeply! I especially love the connection you made to the Zzan Literature Prize. This post is exactly the kind of thoughtful and creative content that deserves recognition.

Thank you for sharing this gem! It's moments like these that make Steemit such a special place. I'm eager to read more of your work! Readers, be sure to check out @jjy's blog and show some love!
