Yang Sihai's Self-Driving Travel Notes

Yang Sihai was born in a small town in southwest Sichuan. In the late 1970s, in order to give birth to him, his mother went to the steel city where his father worked. He grew up in this steel city until he was three years old, and then returned to his hometown in Nanchong with his family. His grandfather named him "Sihai", saying that the fortune teller had approved that this child was destined to be at home all over the world and to be on the road all his life. Before he was eight years old, he grew up among the fields and old houses in Nanchong. Just after finishing the first grade, my father came back after a long journey and brought news that changed the fate of the whole family: after decades of hard work, the family of six was finally eligible for household registration transfer—from now on, they could eat commercial food and truly take root in the steel city. He, his parents, brothers and sisters packed into the green train and bumped around for a whole day before arriving at a mountain ridge called Pass in Baoding Mountain, Steel City. He re-read the first grade here, and the clear wind and bright sun in the mountains became the most solid background for his childhood. In the summer at Yakou, the sun is blazing and cloudless, but it is not muggy. As long as you avoid direct sunlight, the mountain breeze will bring the coolness of the grass and trees, wrapping your body with comfort. Primary school was a leisurely and happy time. As soon as the school bell rang, he and his friends would go into the mountains and dig out bird's nests, go down to the stream to catch crabs, run wildly all over the mountains and fields, and fill the ravines with the laughter of his childhood. Whenever a scenic film about the motherland is broadcast on TV, he will always stare at the screen in trance - the world is so big and the mountains and rivers are so vast, when can I go and see it in person? In the summer of the fifth grade year, the school announced its merger. The sixth grade students had to transfer to another campus. Not only did they have to walk for more than half an hour to school every day, they also had to pass the entrance exam. If they failed, they had to repeat the fifth grade. Yang Sihai's results
