Wangning Street is an old street that hides the smell of fireworks for a century. The bluestone road carries the memories of generations. The sweet smell of sugar paintings, the sandalwood of wood carvings, and the clicking sound of sewing machines are its unique rhythm. In order to protect her hometown, designer Su Wan gave up her high salary and returned to the old street to open a coffee shop. However, she unexpectedly learned that Dingsheng Real Estate planned to demolish the old street and build a commercial complex.
Faced with the toughness of developers and the wavering of some young residents, Su Wan joined hands with her husband Gu Yanshen to gather craftsmen such as Grandma Zhang and Master Li to form a guardian alliance. Lin Mo, a young design major who has just graduated, joined with his attachment to the old streets, injecting modern vitality into traditional craftsmanship. From fighting against demolition rumors and striving for policy support to building craftsman incubation centers and promoting technological innovation, they have stuck to their original aspirations amidst the battle between commercialization and fireworks.
The story takes the protection of old streets as the main line, connecting the warmth of neighbors, intergenerational collisions and cultural inheritance, delicately depicting ordinary people's attachment to their hometown and adhering to tradition, and interpreting the deep connotation of "the fireworks never stop, the inheritance continues"
