The Lost Journey of Ten Thousand Houses of Lights

That year, Yang Ming disappeared from the factory. Not because of an accident, not because of being trafficked, but because he chose to leave. Unable to bear the oppression of the assembly line and unwilling to spend his youth trapped in a wall, he boarded a bus that was bound for an unknown destination. He originally thought that this was just a willful runaway of a young man and that he would come back soon. But he didn't know that this decision would make his life take a turn for the worse. After ten years of wandering, his parents could not see him again until their death. He also didn't know that his parents, who were far away in his hometown in Shanchuan, had lost everything in search of him. The court declared his death. The female boss of a school lost her career and family because of the lawsuit. She turned from a millionaire to a "black-hearted boss" that everyone reviled overnight. Eleven years later, when Yang Ming finally stood at the door of his house and knocked on the door, his mother's white hair and his father's portrait told him: some roads, if you walk too far, you can't look back; some people leave after waiting for a long time. But the woman who lost everything because of the compensation is still waiting for him. A lawsuit over 300,000 yuan in compensation brought two families crushed by fate back together. In the court, a son who came back from the dead and a principal whose family was ruined each told the unknown truth in the past eleven years. This is a novel about return and forgiveness. What it writes is not only the redemption of a young man, but also the epitome of ordinary people in an era. Those who left their hometowns to venture far away, those who paid a heavy price for a wrong choice, those who still chose reconciliation in despair. The door opens, and the real journey home has just begun.
