My Daughter and I Share a Desk

When you’re only eighteen, yet feel you’re good for nothing and wonder whether you should just die; when you realize that becoming an astronaut or a scientist as an adult is nothing but a pipe dream, and you no longer believe you could ever have a bright future; when you stand at the counter of an internet cafe, clutching the last fifty yuan you have, and a voice tells you, “Just take it one day at a time. Your life’s worthless anyway”... Then you meet your daughter, who has transmigrated from the future, and the two of you “accidentally” become deskmates at night school! What is fate trying to tell us? In the name of love, what is the heaviest promise you have ever made? The heaviest promise she made was agreeing to her daughter’s request: “No matter how long I get to live in the future, Mom, please give birth to me! I want to see this world!”
