To readers: What kind of book is "Going South"? This is a novel without the aura of a protagonist. It writes about your father, your uncle, and that neighbor in your hometown - those men who went out on the 16th of the first lunar month carrying snakeskin bags and came back from the green train on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. They have no names and no one remembers them, but they built the buildings, repaired the roads, and poured the city out of reinforced concrete. "Going South" writes about a group of such people. Starting from a small village in northern Guizhou called Xishuihe. Shoushan went south to Guangzhou at the age of twenty-four and tied steel bars on construction sites for twenty years. His elder brother Shoujiang died in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, leaving behind a posthumous son. His wife Guiying stayed in the mountain village for forty-three years. His son Chengye died saving people in the Wenchuan earthquake at the age of seventeen. His nephew Chengzhi is a descendant of martyrs, and his grandson Nianzu is sitting in a university class, using AI to restore the portrait of his great-grandfather. Four generations, fifty years. From carpenters to steel workers to AI engineers, from kerosene lamps to electric lights to electric heavy trucks, from the light of a family to the light of an era. It's not grand, but every little thing counts. It's about a mother who you've never seen cry. She gave away her husband, her eldest son, her eldest grandson, and finally her youngest son. She kept lighting a lamp in the main room all her life, and the lamp could not be extinguished. It says Guiying, her hands are full of cuts. She farmed alone, took care of the children alone, and endured the shadowless light on the abortion operating table alone. She has two iron boxes, one is the remittance slips that Moriyama has saved for twenty years, and the other is an empty cloth left by her unborn child. It is written as ye, seventeen years old. In the ruins of Yingxiu, Wenchuan, he carried more than a dozen children on his back, but he could not come out. Morishan retrieved a red rope from the ruins, tied it around his wrist, and never took it off again. It tells about the youngest He, who worked part-time for half his life, and was eventually replaced by AI. He squatted in the rental house and watched the data model he trained take over his position. It writes about Dung Baby, a person who cannot speak. Every year he squats at the entrance of the village to watch the people going south, and every year he watches the dragon lanterns burn to ashes on the river beach. He didn't know what the era was, but he kept a light that never went out for the era. This book has no golden sentences, no sensationalism, and no tearful drama. It only has specific people, specific days, and specific hands. Shoushan's hands, Guiying's hands, mother's hands, Chengye's hands - each of them is rough, and each of them is holding something. Sometimes it's an iron box, sometimes it's an IOU for fifty-five yuan, sometimes it's the last red string my son left in this world. You won't cry when you read it, but you will think of someone. Maybe it was the stranger carrying a snakeskin bag sitting next to me on the train, maybe it was the white hair behind my father's ears when I came home during the Spring Festival one year, or maybe it was the faded certificate on the wall of the old house. By the time you think of him, you will have finished reading the book. "Going South" does not write about heroes. It writes about how that generation lives in silence, how it goes away in silence, and how it continues to light up in the lights of each generation. The lights are still on. This book is Moriyama's story, and also the story of every ordinary person around you. When you turn to the last page, you may not completely recognize the man standing under the yellow kudzu tree at the entrance of the village. But you must have seen him. You have seen his back squeezing onto the train with his snakeskin bag on his back, your hands crouching at the door of the shed holding a telegraph newspaper, and the lamp he lit in front of the tomb in Houshan on New Year's Eve. You've seen him, but you don't know his name. His name is Yuan Shoushan. His name is Nanxia. His name is "Going South". Salute to all builders of the Republic! If you go south all your life, you will eventually return. Running around all the time just to have a home to return to.

The story of working in Guangdong, adapted from reality! He is a son of a peasant family, and is nicknamed Love Expert, Han Han Second, Stinky Vendor, Chef Li, etc. He is poor but has a lot of luck with the opposite sex. He is sincere but engages in the most hypocritical profession... The story is set in Shenzhen, Guangdong in 2008, telling the legend of poor boy Li Zhe in the workplace and business world. There is also a touching love story, and it is also a memoir of the youth of a migrant worker in the 1980s and 1990s. The novel is full of fun and has a sense of the times. It is full of useful information on the workplace, life wisdom, growth insights, and tears of laughter. I would like to use this book to pay tribute to the majority of compatriots born in the 80s and 90s. I also wish my friends who are drifting south and north to make a counterattack and get rich as soon as possible.
