After Lin Xiao graduated from university, he was assigned to Shanhe Energy Company by the school. After a year of internship in the company, he was accidentally assigned to the construction unit at the lowest level of the company. At the grassroots level, Lin Xiao was responsible for the most difficult outdoor installation. During the work, Lin Xiao promptly handled the installation mistakes and avoided more accidents. After a major liability accident, the leaders of the work area finally found out about the incident and vigorously promoted and praised Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was discovered by the company's senior management and was directly transferred back to the agency's inspection department. However, Lin Xiao had no foundation and experience in writing materials and ultimately failed to complete an important experience document task in the inspection department. Lin Xiao got acquainted with his colleague Lu Ming in the Supervision Department, and their relationship warmed up a few months later. Later, Lin Xiao taught Lu Ming how to drive, and the two eventually got together. However, due to the double test of reality and marriage, Lin Xiao and Lu Ming broke up after several struggles.
Reader comments
The title of the book "The Long Road is Xiao Xiao" accurately summarizes the spiritual core of the novel. "Long road" is Lin Xiao's life trajectory, and it is also the growth path of every ordinary person; "Xiao Xiao" refers to the desolation and loneliness on this road - even with the company of colleagues and the warmth of his lover, he still has to face the wind and rain of the workplace and emotional breakage alone in the end.
Through Lin Xiao's story, the author reflects many issues in contemporary society: the career dilemma of young people within the system, the realistic background of urban love, and the insignificance and perseverance of individuals in the tide of the times. The novel does not give an answer, nor does it provide the refreshing feeling of "counterattack". Instead, it records the struggle and growth of an ordinary person on the "long road" with delicate writing. This kind of "non-utilitarian" narrative makes the work more powerful - it allows us to see that even if there are no earth-shattering achievements, even if you repeatedly run into obstacles in reality, everyone who lives seriously deserves to be respected.
