Introduction to the work "Seven Days of Echoes"
"If memories could be exchanged, whose past would you most like to see?"
Lin Qiu, a 42-year-old community mediator, is the best person in the old town of Yunxi City who is best at "persuading fights" - she can resolve neighborhood disputes, comfort elderly people living alone, and even persuade young people who are fighting to shake hands and make peace. But when it comes to her 17-year-old son Zhou Mingyuan, she is like the "most failed mediator": her son is rebellious, tired of studying, and fights, leaving her with a door slamming behind her; her husband Chen Mo is taciturn, hiding his illness and worries, reducing the marriage to the indifference of "eating together".
Until an accident, Lin Qiu obtained the supernatural ability of "seven-day memory exchange" - just by touching the body of the person with whom he has come in contact, he can exchange the memory fragments of the last seven days and see the most secret emotions in the other person's heart: Mingyuan's fear when he was bullied, Chen Mo's medical certificate hidden in the drawer, Xiao Xia, a girl from the milk tea shop, was tired of raising her younger brother alone, and the loneliness of the grandmother who lived alone because her grandson was cut off...
This is not magic to "change the past", but the key to "understanding the present".
Lin Qiu began to use her ability to "intervene" in other people's lives: she squatted with Mingyuan in a milk tea shop and listened to Xiao Xia's talk about the hardships of working. She helped Chen Mo dig out the portrait of Mingyuan's Hundred Days that he secretly drew. She took her grandma to the airport and heard her grandson choking because he was "afraid of grandma being disappointed." The side effects of the memory exchange made her weak and dizzy, but it allowed her to piece together the parts of herself that had been smoothed by life in other people's stories - the girl who once dreamed of becoming a painter, the mother who gave up her love due to marriage, and the middle-aged wife who always said "I'm fine."
