Jiang Su's self-esteem was pierced by the HR's sentence "I suggest you upgrade your undergraduate degree to a junior college" and fled back to the small county town called Zhao'an. In the backyard of the old teahouse, which was filled with tea stains and the smell of old times, he heard the fishing drum for the first time - the sound of the desolate ancient drum penetrated the hustle and bustle of the times and hit his confused soul.
Apprentice and learn skills, from being regarded by neighbors as a "poor college student who can't find a job" to using a short video to awaken the memory of the entire city with the endangered fishing drum. He released Yugu Culture to the online media, but was bullied by the Internet and scolded by his old-school masters. He refused LJZ's sky-high contract and chose to live with the fireworks of the market. From one person's persistence to the co-creation of a group of people: the stubborn old craftsman, the pragmatic community secretary, the distant urban best friend, the warm bosom lover... They made the fishing drum sound again in teahouses, campuses, and riversides.
This is not a story about conquering a distant place. This is how a confused young man sinks his mind in an old craft, understands the joys and sorrows of a small town, and finds the weight to resist the ups and downs of the times in his deep connection with this land. Finally, under the moonlight in his hometown, he held a stageless concert for his neighbors. At that moment, he understood: The other shore he had been searching for for half his life was exactly the shore he was rooting for at this moment. A place with peace of mind and fishing drums singing late is my hometown.
