    As the crowds at the train station engulfed me, I suddenly remembered the first time I boarded the bus to the county town when I was seventeen. Back then, I clutched a letter of recommendation written by Elder Wang from the broadcasting station, thinking I held a ticket to a new world. It turns out, all roads lead to the same destination. Before my consciousness faded, I heard the distant whistle of a train. Long, desolate, like some kind of farewell. The sky outside the window began to lighten. A new day had begun. The supermarket opened at 7:30, and I had to be on duty before 6:00 to check the stock replenished by the night shift. I got up and changed into my blue overalls in the morning light. Tian Yu in the mirror was already ready—numb eyes, humble posture, a standard supermarket stocker with no past. Pushing open the door, I remembered something Zhang Hongwei had said: "Yue'e, there are no wasted steps in this world; every step counts." He was right. From Tian Yue'e to Tian Yu, from the broadcasting station to the shelves, from climbing to falling—these thirty years, every step, was meticulously calculated. And I, number 17, stock clerk Tian Yu, will walk into that place once again.
