At the corner of an old alley, Chen Kee's shop stands quietly. Here, mint vines grow along the display shelves, and each leaf carries the ardent expectations of community residents. Chen Yang and Lin Xi carefully run the shop and take good care of the pot of mint. In the process of fertilizing, arranging and pruning the vines, neighbors in the community participated and each contributed their own efforts. At the same time, students studying far away often hear about the growth of mint on campus, which echoes the mint in the store. This small vine spans the distance of space, tightly entwining thoughts and concerns. By describing daily moments, the book shows the warmth and strength in ordinary life, as well as the deep attachment that does not dissipate due to distance, and explains how love and care precipitate and grow over time.
