This is a school life / romance story of 3 artists -- who studied fine arts and music and got to know each other in high school and college. They traveled the world from Asia to US and to the Persian Gulf, in search of each other, in search of love, justice, and equality. "June and Yu" stands for the female and male lead characters, June and Yuhang. The Chinese name of this fiction, "Ju Yu" means "tangerine rain". It simply takes one word each from the female lead's name, Qingju He, and the male lead's name, Yuhang Zhang. The first half of the story, "Pearl Riverside" takes place in Guangzhou, China, a southern city by the Pearl River. The second half of the story, "From the Sea to the Gulf" takes place in the United States and the Persian Gulf. I hope that people with diverse cultural backgrounds like Yuhang Zhang, Qingju He, and another main character who will appear later, Thomas Chow, will eventually find their true home on their cultural and spiritual journeys. I hope that compassionate people like them can continue to bring hope into people's hearts, wherever they go.
