Evening Star In the Valley Chapter 42

Ryan returned along the same route.

When passing Golmud, he turned from National Highway 109 onto the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. When he came here, this section of the road was covered with thick fog, so he had to drive slowly with the fog lights and double flashers on. When he left today, it was a clear night. He put the Hada on the passenger seat. In order to prevent it from flying around, Ryan tied it to the headrest of the passenger seat.

On the way back from Tibet, Ryan had all the worries he had when he came. He was grateful that the system had assigned him to Tibet when the volunteer teaching post was drawn. At the volunteer teaching post meeting, several teachers cast loving glances at him.

On the map of China, the distance from any provincial capital to Lhasa is more than a thousand kilometers. Lhasa is far away for everyone outside Tibet. Because it is far away, we yearn for it. Because it is far away, we need to muster up the courage to set out. And because it is too far away, we may never be able to set foot in this lifetime.

People are confined to life, family, and work. The changing of seasons is not about romance, but about quarterly reports. Ryan's family runs a company, so he knows that too many people have a typed resignation report in the disk that stores work files in their computers.
