In Qiuyang in 2008, Xiaoying, who was in sixth grade, met a big sister who looked very much like her. She handed her a pink mp3 player and said, "She will accompany you." Then she turned around and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
The mp3 always makes little sounds in the middle of the night - "Don't choose that junior high school", "Knock on the door on the fifth floor faster", "Don't believe what they say forever". She held it in her aunt's house, downloaded songs, practiced dancing in front of the screen, and literally ran to the fifth floor every day in order to tell a casual lie. When her eldest sister taught her how to do questions, she would occasionally stare at the MP3 player in a daze and ask, "Have you seen the other me?"
The quarrel between her parents became more and more fierce, but she suddenly said in front of her relatives that "they will get divorced", and everyone in the room froze. The voice in the mp3 suddenly laughed: "Xiaoying, you are braver than me."
But when the door on the fifth floor could no longer be knocked open, when the exercise book handed over by the monitor replaced the tutoring, when her classmate Chen Yating's eyes dodged in the Internet cafe... She realized that those fragments from the future were slowly revealing their outlines like a puzzle, and the last piece was hidden in the sentence that she could never guess -
"Remember, I am not saving the past, but you."
Intention: First, self-dialogue for growth. The second is the weight of tiny choices. The third is the secret and power of growth.
