Zhou Yuan, who was born in 1993 in a small town in western Hunan, Hunan, entered the hustle and bustle of the post-millennium world with the stubbornness and warmth inherent in the Hunan people. From struggling on the assembly line of the Pearl River Delta factory, to the workplace games in Changsha office buildings, to the battle of authenticity on the road to entrepreneurship, he has been let down by his best friends because of his heart and soul, and has been subjected to business calculations because of his gullibility, and he has also experienced kindness in the glimmer of strangers. After more than ten years of hard work, he gradually understood that "staying away from others" is not about withdrawing from the world, but about being sober after experiencing the world - the human heart is like the Xiangjiang River, calm on the surface but hidden whirlpools, and it is easy to be coerced if you get too close; keeping a distance does not mean alienation, but leaving enough room for each other and building a firm bottom line for yourself. This is the life trajectory of a Hunan young man born in the 1990s who lost his youthfulness in the warmth and coldness of human relationships, learned to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, and finally found a gentle reconciliation with the world, others, and himself through the wisdom of "estrangement but not distance".
