He had no education, no money, and no way out.
In 2014, when Zhang Song was still a child, on a side street in Xuze District, Chengyang, the cover of Huiping Breakfast was lifted, and the steam covered the window glass. The heat is fake. Under the heat, the family fell apart: the father disappeared, the mother left, and the two children were sent to their uncle's house in Mo Rong Village. Grandpa's eyes are cold, but Grandma's pocket is warm. His elder brother Zhang Shan took him all over the mountain - catching lobsters, climbing over walls to surf the Internet, exchanging one yuan a day for candy - and he could still laugh when he was caught, it was like a game.
I can't laugh anymore when I grow up. The smell of smoke in the technical school is stronger than the smell of books, the dust from the excavator is choking, and the kitchen shop cannot maintain its dignity for two months. In the subwoofer of the bar SevenTwo, there are cash, spectators, gambling money and the illusion of being "seen"; the game becomes a regular, and the door stays closed for a longer time. After Zhang Shan was released from prison, he took him to Shencheng and wanted to protect him, but he couldn't. In 2026, the summons and dilemma came to an end. Twenty-year-old Zhang Song leaned against the back door of the bar and smoked, twirling a patinated coin brought from Mo Rong Village to Shen City on his fingertips.
This is a long novel based on the real experience of being a prostitute: it describes how poor people behave, how brothers tie people up, and why the shore retreats every time they falsely come ashore. It is not written as an operating manual, nor is it written as chicken soup. The shore is retreating, but people are still walking.
