In 1993, Liu Xu was born. Her parents had long been hoping for a son, so when they got a daughter instead, it felt like drinking a cup of bitter tea aged for years. But the baby was already here. What could they do? They raised her.
In 1998, Liu Xu lost her father. An illness took his life. Little Liu Xu had no idea what was happening around her. Seeing everyone gathered around her sleeping father, crying and crying, she felt awful too and burst into tears.
In 2000, Liu Xu started school. Having skipped kindergarten, she had no trouble keeping up with first-grade lessons.
In 2010, Liu Xu dropped out. She said she didn't want to study anymore. No one knew why Liu Xu, who had always gotten excellent grades, no longer wanted to go to school.
But her older sister wouldn't let her drop out...
In 2016, Liu Xu graduated.
Where would life take her next?
Liu Xu: The road ahead is winding and twisting, shrouded in a long, endless fog.
It magnifies your fears and eats away at your heart.
But even when surrounded by darkness, we must search within it for a way forward into the unknown.
We cannot foresee the future, but we must face the unknown with courage.
