Appointment in Qingshan

When Xu Xia was putting the last piece of clothing in her suitcase, the vague singing voice from the radio station of her junior high school alma mater floated outside the window. She paused, remembering that hot afternoon fifteen years ago, she packed her luggage in the same way, but the destination was changed from the far northern university to the farther Yunxi Village. What she also thought of was Chen Yu, the boy who waited for her to go to school with her at the door of her house every day. Ten years is enough time to turn an English teacher who dreams of traveling around the world into an English teaching assistant editor revising test questions word by word and sentence every day. It is also enough time for a young first love to fade into a vague light in the memory. Until she resigned and the suitcase she was dragging fell into the depths of the mountains south of Caiyun.
