Fang Yao, designer of high-altitude yak hair neck gaiter pleats. Her job is to accurately calculate the depth, spacing and seam tension of each pleat, so that a scarf can perfectly fit the curvature of the neck - if there is a slight deviation, the cold-proof artifact will become a skin-grinding torture tool.
Six years ago, when she was teaching in Deqin Township, an altitude of 4,300 meters, she fell in love with Lu Yuan, a rural teacher. But one wants to go down the mountain to the design capital, and the other wants to take root on the plateau to protect his children. There is a distance between mountains, rivers and altitudes, and love cannot cross the reality barrier after all. The two said goodbye in silence at the mountain pass, without even saying "goodbye".
Today, six years later, Fang Yao returned to the plateau for investigation with a new "pleat pressure dividing system". Lu Yuan was still in that elementary school, still listening to her lecture in the last row of the classroom. She had memorized the stinging pain of the old scarf for six years, she had adjusted the data on suede hardening caused by ultraviolet rays from the plateau for six years, and she had spent six years solving the problem of the sutures loosening due to the temperature difference between day and night - but she could never find the right tension for Lu Yuan's pleat.
When she handed him the tailor-made scarf, it had a zero-pressure design on the Adam's apple, and each of the twelve main pleats accurately corresponded to the curvature of his neck. Lu Yuan put it on, was silent for a long time, and said: "I won't wear it this time." Fang Yao smiled, with tears in his eyes: "Adjusted it by 1.2 Mm." - It turns out that some reunions only need a correction of 1.2 Mm; but some people are separated by a whole altitude of stubbornness.
Only by adapting the folds to the curvature of the neck can we keep out the cold. Only by being tolerant and adapting to each other's circumstances can we stay together. When the Twin Cities Project was launched, and when the longitude and latitude were finally woven into a piece of cloth, they realized that love can climb over snowy mountains, as long as someone is willing to redesign it.
