Introduction to the work "Chengnan Peach Blossom Spring"
At the age of thirty-five, Chen Yu's life came to the edge of the cliff.
Large factories laid off employees, marriages broke up, and medical examination reports were shocking - he was a standard "successful person", but he lived like an isolated island. Late one night, he ran aimlessly on the edge of collapse, passed through a wall covered with vines, and broke into a state-owned enterprise compound in the 1990s that had been forgotten by the city.
There are no KPIs, no school district housing, and no 996 here. There were only dim street lights, mottled red brick buildings, a century-old locust tree, and a taciturn old man guarding the courtyard. The residents of the compound are people who have been left behind by mainstream society or who have actively escaped - retired engineers, widowed music teachers, wandering photographers, programmers escaping from forced marriages... They have established a set of self-sufficient rules on the ruins, using "work points" instead of currency, "councils" instead of properties, and using each other's company to fight against the torrent of the times.
From the initial resistance and discomfort, Chen Yu was gradually moved by this slow and dignified life. However, as the city expanded like a tide, real estate developers coveted this last enclave, and internal differences began to emerge. He must choose between returning to the jungle or staying in paradise.
This is a fable written for every tired adult running around in the city. The Peach Blossom Spring is not far away, it's just the moment you let go of your obsession.
Mission: To build a paradise deep in the city
