Ba Shijiu's Life Path

My nickname is Ba Shijiu, and I was born in a small village in the mountains. In my childhood as a wild boy, there were no mobile phones or cram schools. There were only wild fruits in the mountains, small crabs with small stones in the river, fireworks by the stove, the nagging of my parents, and the little sniffling gestures of the little girl at the same table. Digging out bird's nests, moving crabs, breaking corn, the beatings received, the mouths stolen, and the little joys hidden in my heart are all nostalgia engraved in my bones, and they are old times that can never be returned. This is a rural childhood story belonging to those born in the 1980s and 1990s. It is the life path of an ordinary boy who grew up slowly in the mountains and wilderness.
