Ruan Qiao was seventeen years old and was wrapped up in an airtight home. My mother's control is always with me, and she easily categorizes all resistance as a "rebellious period", and trivial chatter becomes a daily shackles; my father's gentleness is mixed with perfunctory, and the occasional pocket money is always asked for in no one's place, and the shadow of violence in the past has never really dissipated.
She hid her stubborn temper and persisted in the suffocating life. She survived quarrels again and again, suppressing the flash of despair. She regarded the college entrance examination as the only outlet, looking forward to passing the exam and looking forward to the freedom in the distance.
Those grievances hidden deep in my heart, those struggles that no one understands, and those secret longings for warmth have all become sparks in the dark night. She thought she would always be fighting alone like this, until a certain beam of light crashed into her narrow corner and gently pushed away the haze that enveloped her.
This is a journey about breaking away and about redemption. Seventeen-year-old Ruan Qiao will eventually face the light, get out of the small place that traps her, and live the way she wants.
Intention: Find your own light in the gloomy place
