A Brief Introduction to the Story of The Road to Life
In the 1980s, Gao Jialin, a young man living in Gao Jiagou, northern Shaanxi, was called the "No.1 scholar" in the village when he was a child. Although his family is poor, he is more eager to read poetry, and he is determined to get rid of the yellow land. The college entrance examination was his only chance to change his fate, but he failed the list. He tried to become a private primary school teacher, and the teacher establishment was squeezed out. Gao Jialin fell into the bottom of his life. With the encouragement of Liu Qiaozhen, he cheered up, insisted on writing, ignited the hope of life, and fell in love with Qiaozhen.
Uncle Garin's return to the village indirectly provided Garin with the opportunity to be a reporter in the county seat. He met like-minded classmate Huang Yaping in the county seat. The silent protection of Qiaozhen, a country girl, and the passionate love of Huang Yaping, a Shanghai girl, put him in a dilemma. After several struggles and choices, he came to Shanghai with a pen.
The test of fate came one after another. In his thirties, Gao Jialin learned that his university places had been replaced by his good friends. Even so, Garin was not defeated. He followed the times to learn new knowledge, worked hard, experienced changes in the world, and wrote extraordinary life stories of ordinary people in the tide of the times.
