The choices made at the age of sixteen always carry the weight of soil and the glimmer of distance. Giving up high school and entering the county town is a responsibility to shoulder a heavy burden for the family; saying goodbye to stability and heading south after a year is an instinctive yearning for the vast world. These two turns outline the truest appearance of youth - finding oneself clumsily but firmly in the pull between reality and dreams. The warmth of the employer's family is the warm light on the way. Duoduo's attachment and Aunt Li and Uncle Wang's advice make parting feel heavy with reluctance. But it was this cherished warmth that gave her the confidence to venture into the world. As the train rumbles forward, the tears contain nostalgia for the past and stubbornness for the future. There is no standard answer to the choice of youth. The important thing is to listen to your heart every step of the way. Whether it is bending down to take on responsibilities or raising one's head when chasing the distance, they are the most vivid footnotes of growth. That train going south not only carried a girl's luggage, but also the epitome of millions of young people fighting for their destiny in the era.
