The 14-year-old blind girl Xingyue learned about the deeds of two famous runners in modern and contemporary history, Amu and Ryoko, because of an exhibition, and was deeply inspired, and since then she has sown the seeds of her dreams in her heart. With the help of her family, accompanied and encouraged by the elderly Ryoko family and many well-wishers, Xingyue practiced long-distance running unremittingly, and finally harvested the double growth of physical strength and spiritual will, and also continued the sportsmanship of Amu and Ryoko.
Through the interweaving of history and reality, the novel sings a song of young people in the new era who cut through thorns and thorns, and breaks the waves for a long time, showing the continuous awakening of the consciousness of the Chinese nation and the inheritance of the Chinese sports spirit from generation to generation under the guidance of the party's spirit over the past hundred years, praising the spiritual fighting spirit of the Chinese nation that is becoming more and more frustrated and courageous, as well as the Chinese sports spirit of winning glory for the country, uniting and cooperating, and fighting tenaciously, which has a distinct appeal of the times.

"The Boy Who Chased the Stars" uses exquisite and delicate writing to show us an interesting soul who is obsessed with the road. With the help of the metaphor of the novel, we find that anyone who breaks through the "thick shell" of reality and constantly surpasses himself is a "runner". Running up allows the "runner" to understand the road, the earth and the sky, to understand time and space, to understand life and human beings, to understand the finite and the infinite. As the footsteps open, the tentacles of perception continue to extend, and the "universe" of the "runner" becomes more and more magnificent and distant.
Comments by young scholar Fan Yong
These three teenagers, who receive love because of love, and who gain goodness because of goodness, are like the peach blossoms of human nature. This peach blossom source exists in the heart of the author Yang Juan, in every indomitable life, and in the code of a century of China's rebirth through disasters.

Creative talk
"The Boy Who Chased the Stars" consists of three chapters of the story: chasing the stars - teenagers. From the turbulent years of the early Republic of China in 1924, to the innocent years after the founding of New China, and then to the new era, the time spanned a hundred years. These three stories are not like a simple "sugar gourd" juxtaposition structure, and the previous story will somehow extend into the later story. The three stories are connected through the Star and Moon Exhibition, and the persistence of Amu and Ryoko converges on the Star Moon. When a blind girl runs indulgently in breaking through restrictions and pursuing a greater degree of self-realization, Amu's pursuit and Ryoko's persistence have a new interpretation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the opening ceremony of the Eleventh National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Tenth National Congress of the China Writers Association: The vast number of literary and art workers should establish a great historical outlook and a great view of the times, see thousands of rivers and rivers, raise millions of soldiers in their chests, grasp the historical process and the general trend of the times, reflect the great changes of the Chinese nation over the past thousand years, reveal the correct path in the world in China over the past century, carry forward the national spirit with patriotism as the core and the spirit of the times with reform and innovation as the core, carry forward the great spirit of party building, and sing the main melody of the times.
"The Boy Who Chased the Stars" stands in the perspective of children and teenagers, and the images of teenagers such as Amu, Liangzi and Xingyue are created, which have distinct characteristics of the times, they are indomitable, more and more courageous, firmly set goals and be down-to-earth. The novel skillfully connects the stories of these three teenagers running, showing ordinary children surpassing themselves step by step and finally realizing their dreams; looking back at the great struggle course experienced by the people in the past hundred years since the founding of the Communist Party of China from the side; and also praising the Chinese sportsmanship of winning glory for the country and fighting tenaciously, full of positive energy for growth.
