Between the Lines is a poignant campus novel following Lin Wei, a first-year postgraduate student from rural China who struggles with dense academic English texts. Overwhelmed by impenetrable journal articles and intimidating seminars, she nearly abandons her dreams. Everything changes when she discovers an old reading group in the library basement, led by a retired professor. Through late-night discussions, shared struggles, and the slow decoding of difficult passages, Lin Wei and her fellow students learn that reading English is not merely translation but a bridge between worlds. A tender story about perseverance, friendship, and finding one's voice through words.
