The morning bells and evening drums in the small town could not trap the sound of the tide running towards Beijing in Wen Ke's heart. She is a girl in the system who is framed by stability, but in the repetition day after day, she hides a secret yearning for prosperity and freedom. A late-night explanation and an unexpected electric current dragged her back to the midsummer of 2006, becoming Chen Keyi who had just finished her junior year and had yet to set foot on Beijing.
At that time, she knew the regrets in the future: failing the postgraduate entrance examination twice, wasting time, the stability of family arrangements and the shackles of blind dates. With her sober soul embedded in her youthful body, she no longer hesitated, abandoned all reasons for hesitation, refused the wrong path of taking the postgraduate entrance examination, broke away from the shackles of the small town, and went straight to Beijing with courage as her boat and yearning as her sail.
This is not a simple time travel, but a reconciliation with the past self, which turns the longing that has been suppressed for many years into a firm path under one's feet. She wants to write another life of her own in that neon city, and let the hard-won courage become the key to a new chapter.
Intention: A journey of self-reconciliation and search
