Starlight in the Old Street
Slice of Life老街的星光
Writer Jazywa
From a basic point of view, it is the flow of urban life - rooted in the fireworks of the old city in the early 2000s, describing the various behaviors of the neighborhood during the demolition wave (Aunt Zhang's aggressiveness, Uncle Zhou's transparency, and the struggle of growing up), and the folds of survival of ordinary families (the father's fatigue when driving a rental, the forbearance of grandma hiding medicine bottles, the night when the family was silent about the demolition agreement). These details with the smell of rust and oil smoke are the "earth" of the story and the real background. From the main line, it is a history of the game between dreams and reality - Lin Yanqiu's "literary dream" is not suspended, but pressed firmly against the pressure of survival: the 1,200 yuan tuition for a creative class corresponds to the money her father can earn by running long distance for three days; she secretly invests in newspapers On the back of the paper for the manuscript, there may be a supermarket cashier's accounting sheet written on it; even the image of "looking at the sea" has gradually changed from the initial romantic yearning to the specific goal of "making a way out of words" (such as writing popular reports in exchange for bonuses, and relying on serial novels to save enough for moving expenses). Judging from the timeline, it will bear the mark of changing times - the story begins in 2003 (mobile phones were still a rarity, taxis had just become popular, and demolition was the collective pain of the old city). As Lin Yanqiu grows, he will naturally be involved in the social wave of the following ten years: the decline of paper media and the rise of new media. The rise (her "writing" will change from contributing to newspapers to running a public account), the dissolution of her "hometown" in the process of urbanization (the old street is demolished, and she meets her old neighbors in the new community), the changes in young people's career choices (from "finding a stable job" to "dare to resign to pursue dreams")... Her personal destiny will
