[Slow-burning novel, contemporary novel, setting in 2000, civilian survival, no resources, no background, no heroine, little character growth]
We all know that moths fly to the flame in order to pursue the light, but if the light is so bright, why should we pursue it?
The story is set around the year 2000. It tells the story of a young boy who grew up as a left-behind child in a poor village. He stood on the fork in his life and chose the only choice he had at the beginning, heading towards the concrete forest of the city.
From stumbling around in ignorance, to struggling helplessly with a broken head and blood, the forest has its own rules, regardless of whether it is made of cement or otherwise, it is actually the same.
The more he lacks something, the more he loses it. Even though he works so hard and has so many hardships, it's not miserable enough for fate to tease him, so he increases the intensity.
As the saying goes, a true filial son can be struck by lightning, but a cruel man can become wealthy. The hemp rope will break at the thinnest part, and the bad luck will only seek out the misfortune. Life only bullies the poor, Buddhism only helps the rich...
