In the first half of Shen Su's life, there were only two words: trace.
Since childhood, he has lived in the shadow of his prodigy neighbor, growing up in abuse and comparison. Exam papers are his only solace, and excellence is the armor that keeps him alive. He thought that as long as he climbed high enough, he would be able to escape the fate of being forced to chase.
So he worked hard for eight years. From nothing to a manager with an annual salary of one million.
But even when I stand at a high place, I still hear the words in my ears: catch up with better people.
Late one night, after revising the last plan, he came across a question: Why do people follow in the footsteps of others in their lives?
Shen Su suddenly fell silent. For the first time, he realized clearly that he had never lived a day for himself in half his life.
That night, he made the bravest decision in his life: resigned, sold his house, took a cat with him, and drove all the way south. There is no destination, only the distance.
Until he stopped in Xishuangbanna.
Here, he met Yan Wenxun. A person who is naturally at ease, never needs to chase anyone, and is never defined by anyone. He is gentle, stable and self-consistent, like the wind and light in this land.
Yan Wenxun didn't save anyone, he just appeared quietly in his life, but with a word or a look, he pulled Shen Su back to the world little by little from the hell of "must be excellent and must catch up".
There was nothing earth-shattering about this journey. Only a tired man finally stopped and met the person who taught him that he didn't have to look back and just be himself.
Intention: No need to chase, just live for yourself
