5. 55 南 Leaving on the Journey South 南下归途离开 Shanjiu's Home杉玖家Urban371k WordsCompleted Every so often, a generation leaves home to make a living, leaving its youth behind on construction sites and streets far from home. Our fathers left the mountains with worn-out woven-plastic bags on their backs, heading south to find work. They knew nothing of polished talk. They only knew to keep their heads down and work hard, relying on brute strength to feed their families. They lived in cramped shacks, endured grueling day and night shifts, and swallowed their homesickness and grievances. 27Reads—Score214d adds

   This book is slow. How slow? A person falling down a ladder can write three thousand words. A bowl of oil tea carried from the kitchen to the main room can write five hundred words. A water buffalo chewing glutinous rice cakes in the cowshed can write eight hundred words. There's no suspense, no plot twists, no cheat codes, no underdog stories. A man named Yuan Shoushan left the mountains of Guizhou at twenty-four, worked as a steel bar tying machine on a construction site in Guangzhou for forty years, returned to the mountains at sixty-five, and died. It's that simple. If you're looking for dramatic ups and downs, this book isn't for you. But if you want to know—your father, your uncle, your quiet neighbor next door—how they lived their lives—this book is for you. Yuan Shoushan isn't just one person. He represents hundreds of millions of people. They tie steel bars on construction sites, weld parts on assembly lines, rent eight-square-meter rooms in urban villages, and stand for three days and two nights on slow trains. They send money home, build houses, send their children to school, and then, in their old age, return to the mountains, sit on their doorsteps, and gaze into the distance. They didn't speak. They hardly ever spoke in their lives. This book speaks for them. It describes how they ate—squatting at the entrance of the workers' shed, two steamed buns and a bowl of cabbage soup. It describes how they missed home—squatting under a streetlamp, repeatedly reading a letter until the paper was frayed. It describes how they grew old—their knees gave way, they couldn't stand up after squatting for a while and had to hold onto the wall. It describes how they died—thin and bony, their hands as light as dry leaves. It describes the path our country has taken. Those paths were paved by their shoulders. They built the buildings in Guangzhou, constructed the factories in Dongguan, and erected the bridges in Shenzhen. But their names will not appear on any monument, their stories will not appear in any textbook. This book is a monument erected for them. But this book is more than that. It also wants to ask a question: What will happen to these people when they grow old? Yuan Shoushan was sixty-five years old, with late-stage lung cancer, no medical insurance, no pension. He tied steel bars on construction sites for forty years, and died without a labor contract. He is one of hundreds of millions of migrant workers. They built this country, but the country hasn't figured out how to care for their old age. The book doesn't offer answers. It simply lays the problem out there—like a dull knife, not sharp, but suffocatingly heavy. And then there are their children. Nianzu was admitted to a university in Beijing to study artificial intelligence. Xiaojun went to Guangzhou to learn hairdressing and opened a small shop in an urban village. They are better off than their parents, but they also have their own difficulties. Housing prices, household registration, education, retirement—each mountain is higher than the one their parents climbed. This book doesn't offer answers. It offers—to see. To see those silent people. To see the paths they walked. To see the lights they left behind. The lights are shining in the mountains. The river flows south, gone. A light, a river. One person, hundreds of millions. One family, a nation. This is "Leaving on the Southward Journey." Dedicated to all the silent, sweating, and never-written builders of the Republic.
