fan yusu left her hometown because she was bored and wanted to move to a big city. she liked living in beijing since working as a waitress was easier than being a teacher.

Explanation:

To determine the best summary, we analyze each option:

• First option: It states Fan Yusu left her village at 20 to experience life outside, and in Beijing, life was difficult with barely enough money to survive. This aligns with the core details (leaving hometown for new experiences, financial struggles in Beijing).
• Second option: Claims she moved to Beijing with her family and thought life there was difficult, but the original text does not mention moving with family or her initial intention to work as a teacher (it focuses on leaving for new experiences, not staying as a teacher).
• Third option: Says she left because she was bored and wanted to move to a big city, with waitressing being easier than teaching. The original text does not mention boredom, waitressing, or teaching as a reason for leaving.

Answer:

The first option (Fan Yusu left her hometown because she wanted to experience life outside of her village. When she was 20 years old, she moved to Beijing. In Beijing, her life was difficult, and she made barely enough money to survive.)
