After graduating from college, Ji Xing received only one job offer and decided to stay in the big city to forge ahead, sharing a ten-square-meter partitioned room with Chen Xiangbei. Experiencing crowded commutes, rental pressure, and strict projects, he gradually secured a regular position and grew. When his father Ji Shouzhuo suddenly suffered heart discomfort and underwent surgery, Ji Xing rushed home to accompany him, then returned to the city with his parents' support. Chen Xiangbei later returned home to open a shop, while Ji Xing continued working, got promoted to lead a team, and participated in a small-town project. Ultimately, he built a new connection between the city and his hometown, linked his work to his hometown, and persisted in his choice to stay in the city.
