Ear

Chen Sui was born in a remote mountain village in Jiangxi. Her childhood started with a few things: her parents' endless quarrels, old school uniforms worn by relatives, the Xinhua Dictionary under her pillow, and a copy of "Chinese Geography" with its cover missing. When she was six years old, her mother took her on a bus leaving the village. She didn't know where the car would drive, but she only remembered the smell - gasoline, smoke, and leather mixed together. Later she called this "the smell of distant places." The city is not as nice as expected. The handshake building in the urban village, the faucet shared by three families, and the corridor that is always filled with the smell of oil smoke are her new home. Six years of primary school in Chengnan was as dull as boiled water. She dealt with the world with a smile - her smile had pear dimples, her eyes were curved into crescents, and she was as sweet as rice cakes just out of the pot. No one knew that the hand behind her was tightly holding the corner of the book. She wants to leave. This idea lasted from elementary school to junior high school, and from junior high school to high school. She fed herself with old books one after another, and paved the way with test papers one after another. She knew that only by going to college could she truly leave this small southern city and go to the place with the Oriental Pearl Tower. But what she didn't know was that the farther she walked, the closer something followed her. The look of the old school uniform, the sound of parents quarreling, the smell of oil smoke in the corridor of the urban village - they are like things that grow in the bones, which cannot be pulled out or forgotten. "Chen Sui" is about a girl's long journey from the countryside to the city, from childhood to adulthood. About poverty and dignity, about escape and return, about how a person spends more than ten years learning one thing—— Get out. Then, find your way back. It's just that the way she came back was different from what she thought. Concept: Chen Sui was born in a remote mountain village in Jiangxi. When she was six years old, her mother took her away from the home where her parents were quarreling and came to the city. She wore an old school uniform worn by relatives and lived in a handshake building in an urban village. She fed her longing for distant places with an old geography book. From elementary school to university, she has been "going out". She thought that the farther she went, the easier she would be to escape her poverty, embarrassment, and quarrel-filled childhood. But what she didn't know was that the farther some things traveled, the closer they followed. "Chen Sui" is a story about "origin and distance". What it wants to say is: the real distance is not leaving, but living as a complete person with all the scars and lights.
