Gu Nian never thought that the antique shop left by her grandfather would become the "newbie village" in her life - it was not until the Republic of China clock said with a cry that she had the secret of 1949 in her belly, and the Tang Sancai camel spread its shining wings at the critical moment, that she discovered that she could hear the "heartbeat" of the cultural relics.
In order to preserve the old shop that hides the memory of time, and to help the blue and white bowl in the county museum recover its original identity, this girl who can talk to cultural relics has to embark on a hard-core path of growth: taking a professional examination in cultural relic restoration, going to Sanxingdui to decipher the cry of the bronze sacred tree, going to Dunhuang to catch Feitian's fading tears, and finally knocking on the door of the Forbidden City.
Here, the ink color of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" will riot, Qianlong's calligrapher conceals the craftsman's obsession, and even the Taotie pattern on the Shang and Zhou bronze tripods has a guardian code that spans thousands of years locked in it. And when the Dunhuang documents lost overseas collectively mourned, and when the Sanxingdui gold mask and the Egyptian pharaoh mask resonated in the moonlight, Gu Nian finally understood: cultural relics remember everything about human beings, and the bond between human beings and them has long been engraved in the genes of civilization.
This is an adventure about restoration, repairing the cracks in cultural relics, and repairing forgotten history; this is a two-way journey of redemption, where humans protect the lives of cultural relics, and cultural relics protect human memories that should not be lost.
