After graduating, Lin Xuan gave up a 20,000-yuan monthly salary job in Beijing, and was persuaded by her mother to return to her hometown to take the civil service exam under the pretext of transferring ownership of seven houses. For five years, she earned 2,000 yuan a month and commuted four hours, yet could never move into any of the houses. Upon accidentally discovering her mother's true purpose, she resolutely resigned, left home, and started from scratch in Beijing. Her mother constantly urged her to return home with various reasons, while Lin Xuan persisted in independence through her pain. Eventually, after numerous rounds of tug-of-war, mother and daughter reached a hard-won reconciliation—the mother learned to let go and transferred the property ownership; Lin Xuan gained a firm foothold in Beijing and rebuilt her own life. Home is not a house, but letting each other go and treating each other with sincerity.
