Unearthing History: Song Shu’s Adventure at Liangzhu Site

Meet Song Shu, the 20-something redefining #CareerGoals by trading fluorescent office lights for the sunlit mysteries of the Liangzhu archaeological site. While peers scroll through spreadsheets, she’s decoding 5,000-year-old secrets—like a ceramic cup etched with a crocodile pattern that hints at reptilian neighbors in ancient China’s waterways.

“It’s like time traveling with a trowel,” says Song, whose six-day workweek involves meditation amid relics and piecing together clues about the Liangzhu civilization. Her discovery? Crocodiles might’ve once lurked where lotus flowers now bloom—proof that history is wilder than any Netflix docu-series.

For Song, archaeology isn’t just a job—it’s a vibe. “Imagine holding something last touched by someone millennia ago,” she muses. As Gen Z reshapes careers, her story sparks a question: Why chase promotions when you can chase dragons (or crocodiles)?
