Features: The independent free writer, Petian, with a strong personality, stayed in Beijing after graduating from the Lu Xun Academy of Arts. He roamed the cultural world in Beijing: working as a ghostwriter, planning events, and occasionally plagiarizing others' works to compile and sell books. He worked hard, trying to integrate into the mainstream society of Beijing, but kept hitting walls—mistaken for a rural migrant, mistaken for a thief, or even subjected to frequent searches at his residence. Yet, his unbearable inner world couldn’t be hidden. He was always in a state of fear and anxiety, criticized and despised. One day, he was finally cleared out of Beijing as a vagrant. Wild and unrestrained, he was unwilling to give up. Just after returning to his hometown, he stubbornly bought a train ticket to fight his way back to Beijing.
