Tired middle-aged people... In the dead of night, when you are tossing and turning and unable to sleep, you will always have flashbacks of your childhood self in front of you, reading, hanging out in a small county, and imagining the future with friends, with a warm orange, green-like smell. Facing this chaotic middle-aged life, it seems that you can only move forward by absorbing energy from the past days, and this energy comes from relatives and from thousands of ordinary days in the past...
