Chapter 3 leave home
I finally left home when I was six years old.
A person's life is bound to be strange and strange.The path an individual takes is sometimes not determined by oneself.If I stayed at home back then, I would have taken the road of a poor peasant.Life may be hard, but the risks are never great.How is my journey today? I have broadened my horizons, learned about the world, learned about life, and gained a false name.I have walked through the Yangguan Avenue and the single-plank bridge; it was ups and downs, but it was quite smooth, until I was an octogenarian.If I had been allowed to choose my own path back then, which one would I have chosen? It is hard to say!
When I left my hometown, what was left in my mind was an afterimage of a rural family who was extremely poor, lucky for a while, and then collapsed immediately.
