Xu Heyin made an appointment with his friend Hua Ting to study in the same school and the same major in college.
As a result, she failed the college entrance examination and was transferred to business administration thousands of miles away. The depression of being transferred and the regret of missing out on her ideal made her a problem student who skipped classes and failed classes. In order to escape reality, she hid in the school drama club and wrote the script "The Place Where Cranes Fly" in her junior year - it was a piece of driftwood she wrote to herself and a letter of reconciliation she dedicated to Hua Tiao.
But during the rehearsal, everything went off track. She revised the script, and Hua Ting responded to her "betrayal" with silence. At the same time, the pressure of thesis, revision, and graduation followed one after another...
She thought she would be able to make a comeback by getting admitted to graduate school in ancient literature, but she fell into a deeper whirlpool in her first year of graduate school. When her roommate got promoted step by step, and when the script became her only pride, Xu Heyin finally discovered——
She wrote "A Place to Release Cranes" because she wanted to release a crane back to the mountain. But later in writing, it was herself who was trapped in the cage.
Purpose: "People write books simply to connect with others beyond their own existence and to defend themselves against the harsh opposites of all life: impermanence and oblivion."
