Year of Migration

Describes the workplace notes of a 45-year-old "newcomer". When Yang Xiaoqing stood on the platform of Beijing West Railway Station, what she held in her hand was not only a job notice, but also the last place she had regained from the cruel job market as a 45-year-old "senior" and a full-time mother who had been out of the workplace for 5 years after submitting N resumes and experiencing N-1 rejections. Five years ago, she was the financial director of a public institution that everyone envied. In the past five years, her battlefield has shifted from financial statements to family account books, and from conference rooms to kitchens and nurseries. But this was not a "career gap" - late at night when countless children were sleeping, she persisted in studying, obtained certificates, and used Excel to manage family finances like running a micro-enterprise. When her youngest daughter finally entered kindergarten, she decided to listen to her inner calling and go to Beijing.
