Ferryman Under the Market Bridge

Some souls are destined to be unable to cross the river of forgetfulness safely. He hovers on the edge of life and death, neither a dead soul nor a living being. He is Lin Xiaoman, the ferryman under the Xuqiao who is neither recorded by the underworld nor seen by the underworld. He runs a "convenience store" that only the most obsessive souls can find. Here, tears can be weighed, memories can be pawned, and unfulfilled wishes can be exchanged for a look back across Yin and Yang. But no one knows that what beats in the chest of this young man who deals with the world's obsessions is a wound left by a broken past in the 1990s that has never healed. All the stories started from a seemingly perfect afternoon, from his heart-wrenching begging on his knees. He once thought that leaving with his mother was salvation, but he didn't know that it was the beginning of another period of living under the shelter of others, and experiencing all the hardships. In the end, Lin Xiaoman, who was only nine years old, quietly extinguished his last trace of attachment to the world on a rainy night. Death is not the end. Because of his deep obsession, he did not want to be reborn, refused to forget, and wandered in the gap between yin and yang. By some mistake, he gained a glimmer of the ability to maintain balance and communicate between the two worlds. He started by bringing a word and burning incense to the lonely ghosts, and eventually became the night watchman of the Xuqiao, witnessing countless life and death, love and hate. He could save thousands of dead souls, but he could never save himself who begged his mother not to leave. This is an obsession that a child cannot let go of throughout his life. This is a convenience store specially opened for people who cannot say goodbye. Even though the fireflies are faint, they can illuminate the dark night; even though the ruins of the bridge are broken, they can carry away crazy souls. But who can come to ferry him?
