Yaoliu said that she was born extra in the family, because discarding her would attract dissatisfaction in the village, and she was left to survive. That's why I can witness her wandering life for half of her life today. Unfortunately, not only can I not save her, I also become a stumbling block for her.
In that era of cannibalism, the mountains and home were like cages, trapping her body and soul, and mine too.
Now, after 50 years of walking, she still has not walked out of this 30-kilometer mountain village road. She said: "I don't know if this road is too long, or if this life is too long~ too long...".
I looked up at the endless mountain and asked myself? : "Maimai, where should your path go?".
