Run Lifeline

It tells the life trajectory of Lin Muye, a young man from southern Shandong: he was admitted to a technical secondary school in the provincial capital in 1996, but his assignment was cancelled. After working in many jobs, he took over the passenger line due to the death of his mother. He experienced competition, SARS, and the financial crisis in the ups and downs of the industry. He was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2010 and struggled with illness and family responsibilities. After the passenger transport industry declined, he continued to write. Although the publication of his works did not change his predicament, it became his spiritual sustenance. In the end, he transformed the abandoned bus into a community reading corner. With the support of his family, he continued to write about the tenacity and hope of life in words, showing the resilience of ordinary people in the changing times.
