"Meeting in a Foreign Land" is a work full of marks of the times and human warmth. The stage of the story is set in the booming Dongguan. Xin Yong came from the green mountains and green waters of Guangxi, and Liu Mei rushed from the vast plains of Henan. They were both attracted by the opportunities contained in this emerging industrial city and became one of the thousands of migrant workers.
Xin Yong, wearing white work clothes, shuttled between the shelves of the old warehouse, carefully counting the goods; Liu Mei, wearing a ponytail, was busy on the noisy and pungent-smelling production line. An inquiry for materials led them to meet in a warehouse on a late spring afternoon, and the gears of fate began to slowly turn. Shy conversations at lunch, helping each other at work, heart-to-heart sharing on the park bench after get off work, love gradually grows like a seedling that quietly breaks ground.
However, Liu Mei's parents opposed the relationship due to distance, which cast a shadow on their love journey. But Xin Yong did not back down. He used responsibility as his pen and hard work as his ink. While pursuing excellence at work and learning management knowledge, he expressed his sincerity to Liu Mei's parents in sincere letters. Liu Mei also stood by her side firmly in the difficult situation.
They spent long nights in a small and hot rental house, comforted each other in the exhaustion of overtime work in the factory, and worked hard to improve their family's economic situation and have a place in the city. As time goes by, their story is not only a love legend between two people, but also a true reflection of a generation of migrant workers struggling and adhering to their dreams in the city. The footprints they left on the streets of Dongguan are engraved with their love for life and their unremitting pursuit of their dreams.
