In the shadow of the bustling city, we struggle to survive and love each other.
Chen Mo, an ordinary worker whose edges have been smoothed by life, spends his days in crowded commuting, endless overtime work, and harsh criticism from his leaders. He clings to his meager salary and distant dreams, and struggles to breathe in the gaps in the city. His world was grayscale, until an unexpected rainy night, Lin Xiaoyu, a girl who moved next door, broke into his life like an unexpected ray of sunshine.
Lin Xiaoyu, a "shenpiao" with a design dream, is also struggling on the line of survival, but with a freshness and resilience that has not been dampened by reality. Her smile was bright and could penetrate the fatigue and numbness he had accumulated for many years.
Two equally wandering souls met in this cold and bustling city. They lived in a cheap rental house, shared a bowl of instant noodles, and became each other's only support when the other was at his most frustrated. Together they faced the oppression of work, the landlord's difficulties, and the embarrassment of life. They also encouraged each other and warmed each other clumsily but sincerely in countless tired late nights.
This is an emotional epic written for all young people struggling in the city. It delicately depicts the sadness of the workplace, the bitterness of survival, and the loneliness of growing up. It also vividly depicts how two ordinary people get closer step by step under heavy pressure, illuminate each other, and strive to pursue the light of their own on a road that is not always smooth.
Even if you are in the gutter, don't forget to look up at the stars. Even if life is not easy, we must choose to live towards the sun.
