That year, Li Na had just graduated from graduate school.
When she was a child, her mother collected sophora flowers for her in the small yard and baked sweet sophora flower cakes for her. This was the rarest and most beautiful memory of Li Na's childhood. The rest is the damage caused to her by her father's violence.
But she never felt sorry for herself. She had excellent grades and was admitted to a fairly good university. I wonder if it was a coincidence. There was also a particularly tall locust tree in the school. She liked the smell of locust flowers and missed the few good memories of her childhood. So I often wore a dress and sat under a tree reading Wang Xiaobo's novels.
In college, she had a vigorous love affair with a man studying mechanical and electrical engineering next door. He was not particularly romantic, but very pragmatic. Graduation season is also the season of breakups. Because they chose different paths, the three-year relationship ended in vain. The other party was not young and promising and could not make any promises. Li Na's recruitment journey was also bumpy.
In that era, even if she knew what she was good at, she was defeated by the cruel reality. Without a background, there was no future. Li Na was repeatedly frustrated.
Going to graduate school was an accident. Because the recruitment for my senior year was not going well, I chose to continue my studies and have more options with multiple degrees.
She came to a strange and famous city again, Beijing.
Li Na liked Guomao in Beijing and liked to go shopping there. Sometimes she would go to Starbucks to drink a cup of bitter coffee. Although prices were not very high at the time, a cup of coffee was still expensive for Li Na who was in school.
The man in a suit next door looks to be about thirty years old. His hair is slicked back and he looks very refined and elegant. He sips coffee absentmindedly from time to time. But it's also very exaggerated, leather shoes
Purpose: Love yourself first before loving others
