After I Dropped Out of School at the Age of 16, I Decided Not to Bow to Fate
by Wang Younan
About This Novel
In the summer when he was sixteen, Duan Munan said goodbye to campus and his shaky home. The estrangement after his parents' divorce and the coldness of family reorganization made him embark on the road of making a living on his own prematurely. The grease in the kitchen of the restaurant and the dust in the sliding door factory could not cover up the light in his heart - writing was his way to fight against fate, and the words scattered in the magazines concealed his unexpressed thoughts. The bond in youth has never been absent: Qing's pure concern, Wu Hong's passionate companionship, and Lin Ya's silent watch have become his warmth in the wind and rain. He crawled at the bottom, taught himself in loneliness, and learned to choose between misses and encounters. From Chongqing to Taiyuan, from a wage earner to a college student, and then to shouldering responsibility and happiness, he was once confused and inferior, but he never gave up his pursuit of ideals and his desire for warmth. This is a journey about perseverance, hiding the stubbornness and softness of youth. In the intertwining of family, friendship and love, he lost his youthfulness, tempered and grew up over the years, and finally made peace with life, making every persistence blossom.
