This is a story that takes place in a 24-hour convenience store. A girl in ragged clothes bursts into the shop where the protagonist, Zhao Sijie, is working part-time, then collapses on the floor, shattering the peace he once knew. He saves her, but doesn't call the police, because he learns who she is. The store, once so quiet, is no longer peaceful, and Zhao Sijie's life is ultimately changed as well.
This isn't a particularly special story. It's simply about an ordinary person finding his way, an ordinary path.
