I spent two days and one night to get out, and it took me three years and one month to become someone.

I buried my brother in a place with flowers and grass. On the day the company went public, I went to see my brother.

There was no photo of my brother on the tombstone.

My brother has never seen a photo or the light in his entire life.

I sat down and smiled at my brother.

"Brother, look, I made it out. The outside world is really good."

I told him that I spent a lot of money on charity.

Regardless of the meaning behind favoring sons over daughters, it harms the weaker party, whether it's my brother, Xiaotong, or Pillar Brother.

So I want everyone to have the opportunity to go to school and help one another.

As I spoke, I secretly approached the tombstone and whispered.

"Our village has been ruined! They harmed citizens' personal safety, and some even killed people. But Dad and Mom couldn't be found. I heard that not long after we left, they were beaten to death and fed to the dogs by debt collectors."

"Brother, are you sad?"

The dogtail grass beside the tombstone swayed up and down, just like my brother's answer.

I happily said, "I'm not sad either."

The day I walked out of the cemetery, the sunlight bathed me, and the willow trees shed leaves with a rustling sound.

A girl shouted loudly into her phone at the cemetery entrance, "Why? Why won't you marry an 80-year-old man? You're also a woman. You're favoring sons over daughters!"

After hanging up the phone, she burst into tears and muttered, "If only I were a man..."

I found it amusing. It reminded me of my brother. Is it really better to be a boy? Not necessarily.

There are countless people trapped in the quagmire, and gender is not a sin. The most important thing is that once you can climb out, you can see that the outside light is warm.

And the first step to climbing out is self-awareness and not having ignorant thoughts, which means you have to read!

I hope everyone has books to read and the ability to escape.
