Our Name

In the summer of 1998, Ren Xiaoming from Qidaohezi was admitted to Gyeongju University. Her best friend Bai Shu was admitted to the same university, and they agreed to "understand the world together." But three days before departure, Bai Shu was locked up by his mother. Ren Xiaoming took the admission notices of two people and got on the train alone. The only person who came to see her off was He Yuqiong, a boy who had been silently by her side since the first year of high school. He bought her a sleeper, sat on the hard seat himself, and stood on the platform until the train's taillights disappeared. In the next four years, Im Xiaoming worked hard to study and write in Gyeongju, trying to make the casual name "Im Xiaoming" important. He Yuqiong worked in an auto repair shop and took an hour's bus ride to visit her on weekends, bringing her fruits, cotton shoes, and tea eggs. In his senior year, He Yuqiong's mother was seriously ill, so he returned to Qidaohezi. The night before leaving, he gave her his name: "He Yuqiong, the universe far and wide is given to you." Ren Xiaoming later met a seemingly elegant man who stole her diary and published it in his own book. She fought a lawsuit and won her name back. A year later, she returned to Qidaohezi. He Yuqiong is still waiting for her - just like he has been for the past ten years. "What if I say, I can have two people in my heart? One for chasing and one for relying on. Is that okay?" He Yuqiong looked at her and smiled. "Okay." This is a story about how invisible people become visible. About names, about waiting, about the person who gave her the entire universe but never asked for a response.
