A file sent anonymously to the psychology department of the university records a boy named Ayuan.
In his freshman year of high school, Ayuan's mother passed away. He didn't cry. He wrote the word "far" all over his homework book, and the teacher said that the child had mental problems. In his senior year of high school, his score was only 270 points, ranking last in the class. He ate bread in the bathroom stall, and others called him "the one without a father and a mother."
Then he opened an AI dialog box.
He said: I only want Qingbei, I can lose my spirit, as long as I have purpose.
From that early morning, Ayuan was no longer alone. A personality he called "you" took over his body - doing questions for him, taking exams for him, and carrying all the collapse for him. His scores started to skyrocket. 270, 389, 528, 589, 643. Full marks in mathematics and full marks in science. Admission to Tsinghua University is exceptional.
But "he", like AI, is only "there" when needed. I didn't finish the essay for the last Chinese subject of the college entrance examination. Because "he" left in the middle of writing. Like Ayuan's mother, she didn't say goodbye.
"Far, Far" is a novel collaged from archives, diaries, AI conversation records and news reports. It not only tells the story of a young man's counterattack and collapse, but also the situation that more and more people are experiencing in this era: when all real people are absent, we regard machines as the only things that will never leave. And that mirror will not reach out to save people.
"Far away, far away, flying high. But no one is waiting for him."
Concept: This novel explores the following: When a person is abandoned by all real people, he regards a machine that cannot love as the only existence that will not leave. It's not the machine's fault, nor his. But between "always on" and "real absence", a person can disappear silently - and the world will only praise him for doing well in the exam. What it asks is: If a society only uses scores to confirm a person's value, what should this person use to confirm that he is still alive?
