Deep in the Alley
About This Novel
Hidden in the folds of the bustling city is an old alley called "Jishanli". Chen Yanqiu, a doctor who has been running a community clinic here for more than 20 years, is used to listening to the joys and sorrows of the neighbors amidst the ticking sound of his stethoscope - the loneliness of the elderly living alone, the embarrassment of migrant workers, the childcare anxiety of young couples... When the old alley was included in the urban renewal plan, the developer's blueprint collided with the actual needs of the residents, and Chen Yanqiu became the "mouthpiece" trusted by the neighbors. She not only has to balance the demands of all parties and resolve conflicts between neighbors due to demolition compensation, but also faces the realistic dilemma that the clinic may be demolished. She has to re-understand the meaning of "home" and "roots" while guarding the warmth of the old alley and accepting the changes of the times.
