[She tells me about the world, and through her I find my way back to humanity.]
A short, healing story inspired by life in the mountains. They pursue each other in both directions, with a bittersweet but happy ending.
1.
Shi Yi thought she would never fall in love again.
She had been a "winner in life," a graduate of a prestigious university who devoted herself to public service.
But malicious rumors were spread about her, and someone even poisoned the horse that had been her companion for years.
She vanished overnight, deleted her accounts, cut off contact, and moved deep into the mountains. From then on, she avoided emotional ties with anyone, keeping only an old radio.
Living in seclusion and farming, she spoke to the radio only late at night, telling it about the world she had seen.
2.
Then she came along.
The girl from town had a bright future and was engaged. By all rights, she and Shi Yi should never have crossed paths.
But from their very first meeting, she stepped in to help Shi Yi, brought her medicine, drank with her... and listened to Shi Yi's radio program for three years.
The girl said that Shi Yi's voice had kept her company through many lonely, difficult days.
Shi Yi no longer wanted to be a coward hiding in the mountains.
3.
She broke free of fate and came to Shi Yi, while Shi Yi broke free of her own avoidance and went to her.
Even if the world forbade it, they would rewrite their ending with their own hands.
They met at the far end of the airwaves.
Shi Yi's radio show was the bridge that led her beyond the town, while she was the bridge connecting Shi Yi to the rest of humanity.

Theme: A tender connection born in the cracks of reality
Such a delicate picture, it seems like you can feel the wind on the road as you rush towards it at all costs. The two-way rush after reading Chapter 9 reminded me of Liu Chuxin who won the Lijiang Literature Award some time ago. They have all experienced the pain of crossing the hills and finding no one waiting for them, and the tears of joy that there are still people waiting for them when they return after "going through thousands of sails", both mentally and physically. At this moment, the old aunt's face is full of aunty smiles, haha?
At the moment I'm listening to Li Zongsheng's Ghostly Enchantment, and the lyrics are quite appropriate for the occasion? Urgent update?
Haha, what the author has to say is cute!
A very interesting short article
I'm late. The ones in front are locked and I can't see. 😭 😭 😭
