About the Work: The Grocery Store in Ganzhou is a work steeped in the warmth of everyday life and a deep affection for people. Set in Ganzhou, a historic cultural city in southern China, it turns its gaze to an ordinary grocery store on an old street.
The little shop is more than a place to buy daily necessities. It is a glimpse into the lives of the neighbors and a gathering place for sharing their feelings. With delicate prose or visual storytelling, the work records the everyday stories that unfold there: the shopkeeper’s steadfastness, the many kinds of customers, the passing years, and warm conversations about household necessities and family matters. Here, we can feel the warmth of traditional street life and see the collective memories and deep human bonds carried by an old neighborhood amid the flood of modern commerce. Amid the lively lanes of Ganzhou’s old town, Lin Shouren tends his ancestral Lin Family Grocery. The shop sells more than rice, oil, salt, and other daily necessities: it also holds the forgotten memories of the city. But a series of bizarre incidents soon comes knocking, and an unremarkable old object turns out to be tied to a secret buried for years. Lin Shouren had only wanted to live a quiet life, but he discovers that his little shop is like a whirlpool, drawing him into a mystery involving the codes of honor of the martial world, family heritage, and the history of the ancient city. He must use his wits and the scattered clues left by his ancestors to navigate between stacks of old documents and the world of the streets, protect the shop, and uncover the truth. This is more than a grocery store: it is his battlefield. See how the ordinary Lin Shouren holds fast to his principles and stirs up a storm within these humble confines.
