On the Way to Buy Bread

"On the Road to Buy Bread" is a coming-of-age documentary set in Leipzig, Germany. The story begins with the protagonist walking to the bakery every morning to buy bread. In his ordinary and peaceful life, he connects every detail of studying abroad, working, and settling in a foreign country. An accidental acquaintance allows the protagonist to get acquainted with Mr. Qiu, who is also living in Germany. As he meets again and again in bakeries, supermarkets and at home, he gradually enters Mr. Qiu's inner world. The work unfolds in a way that interweaves real life and memories. Through Teacher Qiu's narration of his college years twenty years ago, it depicts a story about studying, teacher-student friendship, youthful growth and persistence of ideals. From the connection between the "Computer Network" class and "C Language Programming" to the late-night self-study classroom, from the youthful campus life to the current life experience, every experience is full of real and delicate emotions. The work does not have ups and downs in the plot, but uses warm and restrained writing to record the process of ordinary people growing up and looking back in their long journey of life. "On the Road to Buy Bread" is not only a record about the overseas life of international students, but also a prose novel about growth, companionship, education and life. It tells readers that life is not meaningful only when you reach the end. The people you meet along the way, the things you experience, and the scenery you look back on truly shape who you are today.
