I'm not sure as the name of the novel doesn't give much clue about the characters directly. But they could be ordinary people facing extraordinary hardships.
One of the saddest origin stories could be that of Batman. Bruce Wayne witnessed the murder of his parents when he was just a child. This tragic event in Crime Alley not only robbed him of his family but also set him on a path of vengeance and justice. He dedicated his life to fighting crime in Gotham, constantly haunted by the memory of that fateful night.
One of the saddest Roblox stories I've heard was about a young player who spent months building an amazing virtual world on Roblox. They were so proud of it and it was a place full of their creativity. But then, due to a glitch in the system, their world got deleted and all their hard work vanished. They were heartbroken as it was like losing a part of themselves.
One of the saddest mom stories I know is about a mom who lost her only son in a war. She had dedicated her whole life to raising him, with so many hopes and dreams pinned on him. After his death, she was left in a state of utter despair, just staring at his empty room every day, unable to move on from the grief.
The love story of Tristan and Isolde is also extremely sad. They fell in love but were bound by various constraints like Isolde's marriage to another. Their love was doomed from the start, filled with longing and heartbreak that couldn't be easily resolved.
One of the saddest life stories I've heard is about a young orphan who grew up in a very poor orphanage. He was constantly bullied by the other kids and the caretakers were not very kind. He had no family to turn to and no real chance at a proper education. Despite his efforts to make something of himself, he faced so many setbacks in life just because of his circumstances.
There was this story of a family that lost their home in a fire. They not only lost all their possessions but also their beloved pet cat. The children were so traumatized, and the parents were left with nothing but heartache and the task of starting all over again. It was truly heartbreaking to see how a single event could shatter their lives so completely.
Fei Wo Si Cun's novels all had different emotional theme and storyline, but there were also some well-received works. One of the most representative works was Too Late to Say I Love You.
