Lin Xiaoxing's life began in a remote mountain village. Her introversion as a child kept her living in the shadow of isolation. Those white-washed canvas shoes and her unbreakable local accent made her the quietest corner in the class.
In his sophomore year of high school, the class seemed to have changed due to the arrival of transfer student Shen Ci. His words, "Your eyes are beautiful," became the only light in Lin Yangyang's dark world.
She began to work hard to get closer to this beam of light, and her grades moved from the bottom to the top ten. She mustered up the courage to join his club, and even secretly wrote down all his preferences.
It was not until the graduation party that she heard Shen Ci say to her friend: "The support teacher asked me to pay more attention to her and said that I wanted to help her build up her self-confidence. It's quite pitiful, isn't it?" It turned out that everything was a task, a condescending charity, and she was the only one who took it seriously from beginning to end.
At the class reunion ten years later, Lin Xiaoxing was already a well-known self-media person and published a collection of essays "Stars Growing in the Mountains" that recorded the growth of girls in mountain villages. Shen Ci chased him to the signing site and wanted to start over, but Lin Xiaoxing just looked at him calmly and said, "Thank you for your joke back then. It made me understand that the light that can illuminate life can only come from myself."
