Funeral in Huangtupo

Introduction to the work "Funeral at Huangtupo" An admission notice from Peking University was like a kindling, igniting all the hopes of Ma Jianjun, a young man from Huangtupo. He believed that this was a passport to cut off the roots of poverty and rush to prosperity. However, from the moment he stepped into the imperial capital, invisible walls were quietly built. The hustle and bustle of the city could not dilute the inferiority complex engraved in his bones, and the kindness of his classmates could not heal the burning pain caused by economic distress. Under the fumes of the cafeteria and the lonely lamp in the library, he tried to exchange his sweat for a future. But the ladder of knowledge failed to lead him to the other side of his ideal. The embarrassment of unemployment after graduation, the silent collapse of love, and his parents' heavy obsession with "progress" finally pushed him back to the starting point of his destiny. This is not the history of one person's struggle, this is a silent funeral held for countless "Ma Jianjun". It buries not only the enthusiasm of youth, but also the simple belief that "reading changes destiny" that was once regarded as the only way out. When the loess reached his ankles again, who was he burying?
