Zhu Cang｜modern Authe Way Home

In the world line of Reverse Journey and Decameron, if their choices were different when they met in St. Petersburg in 2019, what would happen next? ——This is a story that starts with what if. (The background of the same world, the main line remains the same, but the details are different) ——July Chat: From "Together" to "Homecoming" —— In early June, one night when it was so hot that I felt like I was about to melt, I suddenly had a flash of thought: If Cang had made a different choice after the two of them experienced the attempted subway bombing in St. Petersburg in early 2019, would Zhu Wu and Cang have been together in advance? Will we not have to wait until the last day of 2024 to meet again? I had never thought of this possibility before - until that moment, looking at the gentle night in front of me and the bright lights, I suddenly realized that, yes, it is actually possible! ! At that time, between life and death, they had already made a choice! The key points of the different choices lie in how Cang views his own practice, the relationship between personal feelings and his own life, and whether Zhu Wu can make up his mind early to face his true heart and recognize what is most important to him.  In life, everyone has choices and trade-offs. On the other hand, life is between choices and trade-offs.  Emotions are a matter between two people.  That's right, this is always a two-way story. It shares the general background setting of the same world as "Reverse Journey", but even in the same world line, there will be different parallel time and space versions due to various subtle differences. For example, in this timeline, Zhang Cang did not go to the Lion City in 2014 and did not have a thrilling encounter with Malaysia Airlines MH370. However, he went to England as a visiting scholar for several months in the spring of 2016. Therefore, he came into contact with more historical fragments earlier. For example, in this timeline, after Zhu Wu got engaged, he quickly realized that the kind of relationship mixed with trade-offs and calculations was not what he wanted, and he had no interest in the "prince and princess" pretending game that everyone envied in the eyes of the world... So he made the decision to quit earlier. Butterfly storms, chaotic disturbances, and major changes in the world line may just be a thought at first. What if, at that time...? When the thoughts are flowing, they often get out of hand. The subsequent stories not only grow quickly, but also become very strong and lush, and grow into something that the author did not expect. I had always thought that I had realized what infinite possibilities were, but at that moment I suddenly realized that no, in fact, this possibility is broader and freer than imagined - not only for the world, but also for myself. And all limiting beliefs, whether internal or external, others or oneself, are like a prison. Awareness means enlightenment. The world described is also a projection. In mid-March of this year, when "Reverse Journey" or the Ice City Decameron came to an end, I felt happy and a little bit regretful, because some of the foreshadowings and Easter eggs about the black hole of history and Western pseudo-history, about the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, about the characters' experiences and backgrounds were not revealed in time, so they could only be brushed off... Moreover, in April and May, I had some new understandings and feelings that I wanted to express... Unexpectedly, it turns out that parallel time and space can unfold like this. It turns out that there are other ways to release and make up for those regrets. When I started writing, I was full of inspiration, but I couldn't think of a name for a while, so I used "Togetherness" when serializing it. As I kept writing, I suddenly realized last night that the most suitable name for this book is "The Journey Back"! ——It is not only the return of the individual, but also the return of the group, and also the return of history. Zhang Cang and Zhu Wu each chose their own paths when they were young. As they walked, they discovered that they had reached the same destination through different paths. Therefore, it is indeed "The Return". Take this as a reminder. Intention: What-if
