"Wild Sunflower to the North"
When Lin Xiaofang graduated from junior high school, Teacher Li wrote a line on the title page of "Haiyan": May you fly out of this wheat field.
It took her more than 20 years to get from rural Hebei to Beijing. The cocoon on the assembly line, the light on the keyboard at night school, the confusion after the collapse of the electronics factory, the frustration of returning to the workplace - she took root in a strange city, passed the accounting certificate, and sat from the assembly line to the financial window, thinking that she had finally grasped the steering wheel of life.
Get married, get married naked, resign. She endured her mother-in-law's words, "Don't have any contact with your parents' family after marriage." She endured her mother-in-law's cerebral hemorrhage and paralysis in bed. It wasn't until ten years later that my son wrote a sentence in the composition book: "My mother doesn't have a job, she just stays at home and does housework every day." That page was like a needle, piercing through ten years of silence.
She returned to the workplace at the age of thirty-nine, starting as a property toll collector. Submitted an application for party membership and was rated as an outstanding employee and four good party members. Save money to buy a motorcycle, get a driver's license, meet a group of middle-aged sisters riding bikes, and chase the wind around the lake. The casual riding video unexpectedly became popular and attracted an exclusive interview with the platform. After retiring at the age of 50, she entered a driving school again and used her tenacity to win the second and third subjects twice and get her driver's license.
From the wheat fields to Beijing, from two wheels to four wheels, from "losing Lin Xiaofang" to "living as her own light" - she spent most of her life learning one thing: the true freedom in life is not to escape, but to have the courage to start again at any time.
