Synopsis of Stars Falling into an Old Wicker Basket
On the eve of the old neighborhood's demolition, book editor Wen Xingwan discovers a faded wicker basket in the attic. Inside lie notes covered in stars, drawn by the young Lu Xingci, and dried loquats meant as a parting gift that he never gave her.
Ten years ago, he was the dazzling boy who pulled her up onto rooftops to watch the stars, but they lost touch when he moved away. Ten years later, he has become the architect of the old neighborhood's renewal project, and they meet again at the construction site.
Memories surge from the old wicker basket. She has kept her unspoken longing hidden, while he carries an apology that has come too late. Beneath the shifting starlight, they gather up their first dreams from the cracks between years, and the feelings once left stranded begin to shine anew, like the stars in the basket.
