The Survivors: Sub-Narrations [1]

---

When the pandemic had been rising, the dormitories closing and public fear appeared. As regards, numerous university students had to come back to their hometowns. Notwithstanding, after a few months, some of them came back to Tehran, the capital of Iran. But, after a while, several were forced to return: it has occurred as the result of the extreme rise in the cost of living, rent money, and even daily necessaries. Although, a number of the individuals still stay: Despite all of the difficulties they have experienced, living in Tehran is relevant to their identity and independence. These individuals, who I am one of them, are the survivors in Tehran. 

The "Survivors: sub-narratives"; is particularized to describe youth individuals who immigrated to Tehran. The project has two sections: The first part, as an introduction to the project, is about my life that occurred during the pandemic, which is associated with monologic notes. The second part is on the narrations of student-graduate, my friends, who lived in Tehran. Also, the texts of this section are part of interviews that I had, which represent their thoughts about their life and experience of being in Tehran. Eventually, this project is the story of youth immigrants who struggle to stay in Tehran and keep their identity.
