From Wushan, Chongqing, to Jianshi, Hubei, and then from Jianshi to Chengdu - she has been moving throughout her life.
With a score of 581 in the college entrance examination, all thirty-seven volunteers were withdrawn, and the volunteers collected were transferred to engineering management. Eighteen-year-old Wu Tongzi dragged his suitcase and became the only engineering management freshman at Chengdu University of Technology from the mountains of Hubei.
No one told her that she would fail high school math. No one told her that engineering drawings would make her wrists tremble until three in the morning. No one told her that the cigarette her father smoked on the balcony that day was more important than any words.
But she can write. In high school, the county newspaper's supplement published her essays. In college, she wrote down her breakdown after failing a class in a memo. After she fainted during military training, a Suzhou boy picked up her essay book that fell on the ground. He said: "The water of Guangrun River does not rush into the sea. It is very well written."
It was by the window on the third floor of the library, where she learned to write bending moment diagrams as articles and advanced mathematical formulas as verses. Rejection letters were plastered all over the desk wall, and the manuscript fee increased from three hundred to two thousand, from the school magazine "Yanhu" to the essay collection "The Turning Place of Qingjiang River".
Her first love stayed in Jianshi, and the news among the five people never stopped. Her Chengdu roommate accompanied her to eat at all the beef noodle restaurants in Erxianqiao. There is also the boy from Suzhou who handed her handwritten notes when she failed her high school math course and sent her a box of ginkgo leaves from Suzhou when it was published. The title page said: "What you write has roots, don't be afraid."
In four years, I went from being pushed to deciding my own direction.
The Guangrun River is still flowing, narrow and slow. But she was walking, always walking.
Concept: A girl from a mountainous area who was dismissed took four years to turn the project management job into the path she wanted to write. From Wushan to Jianshi to Chengdu, every migration is to a bigger place. Father's silent love, mother's meticulous protection, the separation of first love, the company of close friends, the self-healing of writing - all the losses and gains eventually turned into words on the paper.
