What is the main purpose of reading Journey?

As soon as I walked into the creek, I could see my house and the open door. The door was like the mouth of an old man who had lost all his teeth. It seemed like he wanted to say something, but it also seemed like he didn't want to say anything. Sometimes, I feel that the door is always waiting.
I went to the county town to participate in the military recruitment examination and passed. How should I tell my parents? Were they willing to let their son leave for so long?
His mother sat on the threshold, her hands resting on her chin, her gaze absent-minded. When she heard me call her, her eyes turned red. She pulled up her apron and wiped the corners of her eyes. She sighed and said,"You must have tested it." After saying that, her mother left the door to cook dinner.
I sat where my mother had sat, my butt warm. His father said in a low voice, Your mother has been waiting for you for a long time.
From the second day onwards, I realized that taro, shredded potato stir-fried chili, and Chinese cabbage, these favorite dishes, were served almost every meal. I said to my mother,"You don't have to do this and that. I'm not a guest. I'm your son." Mother said: son out is a guest. Mother has let you down. When her son went to college and went on a long journey, she would have to prepare a table of wine and meat rice. Don't blame me if I can't afford it.
Mother killed a chicken. This is the only chicken in our family. This chicken was going to be of great use during the new year, but her mother killed it. She seemed to be prepared for this. She sent her younger siblings away before bringing out the chicken for me to eat. How can I swallow it? I insist that the whole family eat together. Otherwise, I won't eat a single bite. His mother had no choice but to give in. When they were eating, none of the younger brothers and sisters were willing to touch the chicken. Later, I realized that my mother's eyes were all on the faces of her younger brothers and sisters.
The day I left home was coming, and my mother was getting busier and busier. She was so busy that she didn't even sit on the threshold that she liked to sit on.
Finally, the day arrived. When I opened my eyes in the morning, I saw a brand new blue khaki tunic next to my head. This was her mother's habit. Every year during the New Year, my mother would quietly put a new set of clothes next to my pillow so that I could wear the new clothes to compete with my friends in the village. After the competition, they would go crazy. Often, new clothes would get dirty or the buttons would be torn off after a day of wearing them. At night, while my mother was sewing buttons for me, she complained to me,"You child, it wasn't easy for me to make a set of clothes for you. Why don't you cherish it at all…Today, I'm wearing new clothes again." I know how to cherish it, but I'm leaving.
The people in the village knew that I was leaving, so they all came to see. There were many people in the house and at the door. There was only his mother in the room. His mother was sitting in front of an old cupboard, upon which lay an open dressing box. The dressing box was her mother's dowry. She hadn't seen her use it in the past few years. The dressing box was very old, and the mirror had already been oxided. My mother's face was reflected in the mirror, and I saw that her face was also speckled. Her mother combed her hair patiently and carefully. Her hair was wet. Her mother combed her wet hair to make it look very bright.
Mother saw me looking at her very carefully, so she smiled embarrassedly and said: Mother is old. I quickly said,"Mother is not old."
She smiled. As a result, his face was covered in wrinkles.
When I saw it, my heart skipped a beat. My eyes were hot, and I quickly left the room.
It's time to go. There are many people sending me off outside. When I stepped over the threshold, I accidentally touched the wooden door of my house. The wooden door creaked. Later, this voice was also deeply engraved in my heart.
Suddenly, a woman called out,"Your family is celebrating the new year today." I noticed that everyone in my family was wearing new clothes. It was indeed the same as the new year.
I walked in front of my mother and father and wanted to call them, but something seemed to be stuck in my throat. I only said in a low voice,"I'm going." I nodded, and my parents nodded as well.
In the wilderness of the Great Creek Beach, I looked back once again and looked at my door. My mother was leaning against the wooden door in her new clothes and her hair was combed. His father sat at the door, smoking a pipe.
From then on, I didn't know if my parents and the door I walked in and out of were close to me or far away…
