During Graduation Season, I Took My Cousin In

About This Novel

This work takes the graduation season as the background and depicts a city's "silent knockout" that quietly unfolds in spring. Outside the campus where cherry blossoms are blooming, thousands of college students go to the workplace with four years of youth carefully compressed into a piece of A4 paper, only to find that what the market cares about is not "what they have learned", but "what they can bring immediately." The halo of academic qualifications and personal efforts frequently failed, and the anxiety finally converged into a question: Am I of any use? The protagonist Lin Zhan, a graduate of the Chinese Department, is the "high-level confused person" in this elimination competition. He can deconstruct literature, but cannot deconstruct the future. The imagination of elites gradually collapses in the face of reality. Just when he was trapped in unemployment and self-doubt, fate did not give him a decent opportunity, but brought an unexpected intruder - his cousin Li Jia from the county town who worked as a hairdresser. Li Jia dragged her pink suitcase into Lin Zhan's small rental house. She doesn't understand resumes and workplace rules, but she has the most direct judgment on life and the tenacity to refuse to admit defeat. Lin Zhan originally thought that he was the giver, the one who "taken in" and helped, but he gradually discovered that what this encounter took in was his broken elite dream and lost self. This is a story about graduation, confusion and mutual rescue, and it is also a redefinition of "value" and "usefulness". The story begins with a "take-in" and eventually leads to self-rescue.
