The Days of Carrying It Through

"The Days I Carry It Over" is an autobiographical novel based on real experiences. It tells the story of ordinary Lin Yuan, who drags his days forward step by step in the folds of life. When he was fourteen years old, the smell of paste on the stove mixed with the smell of his sister's textbooks became a footnote for him to drop out of school. His sister dropped out of school. A year later, he also stuffed his schoolbag under the bed and followed the uncle from the neighboring village to the restaurant to wash dishes. The cold water soaked his wrists, and the weight of life on his shoulders was a hundred times heavier than the textbooks. From the town restaurant to the county middle school classroom, from the yarn marks of the Suzhou textile factory to the dye smell of the Foshan printing factory, he was like a grass blown by the wind: he lost all his belongings on the high-speed train and squatted in the subway station to eat cold steamed buns; he carried drink boxes in the logistics park, and his elbows were bruised and bleeding without stopping; when he returned to the Suzhou textile factory, the hot steamed buns delivered by Master Wang made him cry. The yarn is firmly connected, and the days are slowly weaving patterns: beside the assembly line, the hot buns handed over by Xiao Lin warmed his stomach; in front of the dyeing machine, he figured out the temperament of the machine; from being a team leader to opening his own small factory, the calluses in his hands became thicker, and there were more people around him - the white hair of his parents, his wife's smile, and the warmth of his son's fingers clasping his hands. The pain that he once thought he could not bear turned into the warm wind on the lawn. This is not a legend, it is just the footprints of a person who moved forward with tenacity: he suffered and was afraid, but he never stopped. As he said, the so-called happiness is nothing more than having people around you to protect, having work to do, and having the confidence to survive.
