As Gu Zi prepared for the long journey ahead, she packed her belongings with a simple yet efficient approach.
The majority of her luggage was neatly tucked into a twenty-inch imported roller suitcase, which she would pull along. Her primary concern was the temperature difference between the north and south, and the chill of the train at night. Therefore, she packed a selection of warm clothing to ward off the cold.
The meals for the journey were stored in a cloth bag, carried by Su Bing, while Su Li carried a backpack containing his textbooks and his brother's exercise books.
In addition to her luggage, Gu Zi also carried a substantial amount of money. To prevent theft on the train, she had taken the precaution of sewing the money into the lining of her clothing, keeping it close to her body. This way, if they needed anything else upon reaching their destination, they could simply purchase it. This was the advantage of having money at hand.
