Marriage and Love Are Not a Required Course in Life

Lin Wan, 24, takes root alone in Beijing. Living in a crowded rental house and working nine to five is the most real daily life for countless young people drifting from Beijing. In the days when she was alone, loneliness often accompanied her. The calls from her parents urging her to get married, relatives and friends talking about the conclusion of starting a family, and the news that her peers were getting married one after another, all weighed on her heart. In order to comply with the world's expectations, she obeyed the arrangements and went on blind dates. She also had several relationships with her heart. She had seen fake tenderness and experienced the exhaustion of getting along. She witnessed with her own eyes that there were people around her who were deeply involved in trivial internal conflicts due to makeshift marriages. After experiencing the ups and downs of the city's fireworks and the human world in her hometown, and experiencing career bumps, emotional gains and losses, and ideological pull, Lin Wan gradually lost her ignorance and cowardice. She gradually understood that marriage was never a measure of the perfection of life, let alone a life lesson that must be completed. In the years to come, she no longer forces herself to cater to others, but focuses on her career and life. She sticks to her heart in the huge city of Beijing, and calmly pursues her own life journey in the way she likes.
