    We are always chasing the city lights, forgetting that our parents spent their lives wandering, providing us with a stable life. "Going South" uses the 55-year historical tide from 1972 to 2027 as its backdrop, focusing on four generations of the Yuan family in a mountain village in northern Guizhou, writing a most authentic epic of Chinese migrant worker families. From the mountains to the Pearl River Delta, from reclaiming wasteland to seeking a living south, a generation left their homes, silently endured hardship, hiding their grievances and longing, supporting their family's livelihood with only clumsy struggle. The book doesn't feature grand legends, only the real lives of countless ordinary people: migrant work, staying in their hometowns, separation by death, and intergenerational inheritance, revealing the ups and downs and perseverance of millions of families in the process of urbanization. The book uses a restrained and realistic style to depict the rural life and the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Those unspoken forbearances, unspoken sentiments, and the ever-burning lights of the home are the epitome of countless lower-class Chinese families. As the times rush forward, some head to the mountains and seas, while others hold fast to their homeland. After reading "Going South," one will finally understand: our peaceful years are all thanks to the tireless efforts of our parents. The so-called tranquil life is always the result of ordinary people gritting their teeth and bearing the burden.

    In the apocalypse, the protagonist is the only one conducting scientific research, and his diary is his only confidant: when an experiment fails, he writes, "The culture medium smells bad again today," and when he hears voices in the distance, he writes, "I think someone's there?
