In Linxi City, where light golden sycamore catkins float all year round, there is a Shiguang Alley that can only be found by people who "carry unfinished regrets in their hearts."

Each piece carries a unique warm memory.
23-Year-old Lin Wanxing can be called the "ceiling of contemporary unlucky people". He was "optimized for layoffs" by his company just after becoming a full-time intern.
