North of Erhai Lake, the Heart Lamp Is Still Awake

Once a well-known documentary photographer, Chen An, after a huge storm that destroyed his career and love, fled to the Windy City, which is regarded as "poetry and distance" by literary and artistic youths, with bone-eroding trauma and unspeakable guilt, like a rusted part. On the edge of a humid town surrounded by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, he rented "Old Time", an old house that smelled of mold and developer, and made a living by taking photos of tourists and selling the remaining precious photography collections. The expensive Leica camera has become a burning shame label, and the continuous rain in the Windy City is like the quagmire in his heart that never dries up. Struggling with the pressure of survival and creative exhaustion, he only depends on a lame stray dog ​​"Potato". The ginger tea delivered by Sister Lin, the gentle proprietress of the vintage shop next door, and the lonely figure of the landlady wiping the dead old cat occasionally touched his dead heartstrings. The whispers about "things that sink can ferment into luster" seem to bring a glimmer of light. However, when he tried to struggle in the mire of despair, the shadow of the past was wrapped in the Internet storm and tore him apart again. Exposure, old debts, and scars completely overturned his humble hiding place. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
