To the Wonder Episode 1 Plot Introduction: Li Wenxiu returns to Altay to join his mother

Li Wenxiu, a Han girl, stayed in Xinjiang because her parents participated in the Construction Corps. Now 19 years old, Li Wenxiu has not graduated from high school but has a literary dream and yearns for places other than Altay.

In 2001, the well-known writer Liu Haibo went to Urumqi to teach.Li Wenxiu was lucky enough to be selected to ask questions, but due to her introverted personality and low self-esteem, she did not dare to stand up in the crowd and respond. Instead, she hid in the corner with her head lowered.Liu Haibo didn't mind and patiently answered the questions on Li Xiuwen's note, telling her that if she was young, she should go to school first. If she didn't want to go to school, try to start writing from her own life and learn about love, life and injury.

Before the class ended, Li Wenxiu hurried back to the restaurant where he worked.Because she did not read much, she was ridiculed by her colleagues. Only Gao Xiaoliang from Guangdong was willing to speak for her.Li Wenxiu felt that she was out of place here, so she revealed to Gao Xiaoliang during a chat that she yearned more for Beijing, the cultural capital, and hoped to write truly good articles like other writers.

Although Li Xiuwen has been working for a while and the money she earns is only enough to cover daily expenses, she is very willing to stay in the city.In her opinion, Urumqi is large and prosperous. Even when walking on the street, countless possibilities for life are present. It seems that as long as you are alive, you have hope to get ahead.

On the other side, Uncle Sulitan failed to pass the security check because he was carrying a knife, so he had no choice but to leave the station.

In the restaurant, colleagues held up Li Xiuwen's diary and mocked and humiliated her with malicious intent. Li Xiuwen accidentally messed up an important reception. She had to pack her things, use the remaining severance pay defrauded by Gao Xiaoliang, and return to Altay all the way to join her mother.

On such a long journey home, there were always problems. The night bus broke down again and again. Li Wenxiu also kept reversing, and finally stopped at the end of the Gobi Desert.Because of the language barrier, Li Xiuwen went through a lot of hardships and finally appeared in front of her mother Zhang Fengxia with a miserable mental state. The place where she lived was extremely barren, but she could still enjoy the hardships with an optimistic attitude.

Since the death of his father, Zhang Fengxia has taken care of her grandmother who suffers from dementia on her own. Fortunately, her grandmother is still in good health and, except for being confused occasionally, she can be regarded as the three generations living under the same roof.

That night, Zhang Fengxia sat on the grassland drinking, looking into the distance, and his thoughts drifted away.

Li Wenxiu knew that her father's death had a great impact on Zhang Fengxia, so Zhang Fengxia moved several times to countless places over the years, making her live a life of no fixed residence since she was a child.Hearing that Zhang Fengxia was going to a more remote summer pasture, Li Wenxiu persuaded her to give up her idea, but she refused.Zhang Fengxia told Li Wenxiu that if you want a sense of security, look for it within yourself. If you can't get used to living in a place like this, go back to the city and don't always rely on your parents.

Sulitan traveled long distances on horseback, and came to the place where his son kept horses, and directly stated his attitude that he wanted him to go home with him.The supervisor firmly opposed this because Batai had already signed a five-year contract and was an excellent horse breeder trained by himself. How could he let him leave the racecourse at this critical moment?Thinking that his brother had just passed away and the family really needed to be taken care of by himself, he planned to take the Yili Tianma back to the summer pasture first and then return to the horse farm next spring.After thinking for a moment, the supervisor agreed to Batai's request, believing that he would keep his promise.

The night before leaving, Batai prepared everything for Ma in preparation for leaving the next day.
