In spring, rain nourishes Yongtang.
Man Niang, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, grows up safe and sound amid the bustle of her family's food stall.
For Man Niang, the taste of home is the steaming wonton soup her father makes, the seasonal pastries her mother crafts with skill, her older brother's clear calls at the start of summer, and the jasmine flowers blooming in spring.
There are no grand upheavals here, only the gentle passage of time.
The Chen family works hard to keep their little livelihood going through the turning seasons, passing life on through the rituals of traditional festivals.
The finest taste in life isn't rare delicacies, but the everyday warmth all around us.
The world is full of the warmth of everyday life, and that's enough to comfort us for a lifetime.
