Use a Dim Light to Illuminate the Way Forward
About This Novel
Twenty-seven-year-old Lin Wei is trapped in a dilemma in his routine life. A stable but boring job, close friends who are drifting away, and the hidden constraints of her original family, like a fine network, made her ask repeatedly late at night: Is this really the life she wants? A sudden unemployment became the straw that broke the camel's back and an opportunity for her to break the situation. She packed up her bags and embarked on a short journey without any purpose. In the mist-shrouded mountain village, craftsmen who adhered to old craftsmanship taught her how to persevere; in the bookstore in the seaside town, the shopkeeper who gave up his high salary to pursue his passion gave her courage; the stray cat she took in along the way became her warmest companion late at night, letting her know that growing up is never a lonely journey. The little glimmers of light during the journey dispelled the fog in her heart. She learns to reconcile with herself and no longer clings to the expectations of others; she learns to face her fears and break through boundaries in her attempts; she learns to capture the beauty in the ordinary and accept the imperfections of life. It turns out that growth is never a transformation that happens overnight, but rather acceptance amidst stumblings and sobriety amid stumbling. When Lin Wei returned to the familiar city, his eyes were filled with determination and clarity. She changed her favorite job, repaired her family relationships, and found a comfortable way to get along with the world. This is not only a girl's travel story, but also a microcosm of the growth of every ordinary person - I hope everyone who is moving forward in confusion can find their own glimmer of light, which will settle in time and bloom in the years.
