I Love Beijing Bus Route 1

This work could be called a sequel to Four Seas and Eight Directions: Hui Is True to Her Heart.

Beijing Bus Route 1 is the last route in Beijing that still has fare inspectors. Its fleet depot is on Shangzhuang Street in Shijingshan, and the story follows the everyday lives of a group of young people… Lin Yilu left Beijing in his second year of high school and spent seven or eight years struggling on his own. Since there were no physics programs available, he had a rough time studying abroad and elsewhere. Fortunately, he landed a job in Beijing as a bus driver, a position that was easy to get but that few people wanted. The job wasn’t great, but at least it was with a state-owned enterprise and offered stability. In Beijing, Lin Yilu reunited with Wenhui, the girl he had liked in high school. And it wasn’t just the two of them: many people had been pushed into this line of work by the demands of their jobs. They all came to realize that working in the service industry could be meaningful and full of variety. This time, Lin Yilu finally got his first taste of love.
