Years in Chengdu: Love in Jinjiang
by Qin Aochi
About This Novel
In July 2015, Lin Wan, a girl from northern Sichuan, graduated from the Chinese Department, gave up her job as a teacher at County No. 1 Middle School, and came to Chengdu dragging her suitcase. In the following ten years, she started in the urban village of Xipu, worked as a store copywriter and a new media operator, and finally founded "Rongcheng Chronicle" to record the life of Chengdu citizens. She has seen the wide and narrow alleys and fly restaurants in this city, as well as the erection of high-rise buildings and the demolition of old cities. She loved someone and lost someone. She cried in the rental house and laughed by the Jinjiang River. This is not a cool counter-attack novel. Lin Wan did not become a multi-millionaire, did not marry a domineering CEO, and did not reach the pinnacle of life. She was just like thousands of Rong Piao people, step by step, she transformed herself from a "foreigner" into a "local" in this city. The novel takes a ten-year period and describes the dual changes of a city and a person. The water in the Fu River kept flowing, the mosquito coils in the urban village kept burning, and the tea bowls in the teahouses kept refilling - and the girl who stood by the Jinjiang River at a loss finally found her place in the city's fireworks. Dedicated to everyone living in a foreign land.
