At eighteen, Chen Mo’s business venture fails.
He returns to his hometown and opens a small restaurant.
He only wants to pay off his debts, but unexpectedly, the place becomes a “home” for everyone on the street.
A nurse finishing the night shift, a retired fitter.
A girl who paints, an executive who only drinks plain rice porridge.
Street cleaners, vegetable sellers, students...
Everyone has a story of their own.
In spring, he makes shepherd’s purse wontons. In summer, he simmers mung bean soup.
In autumn, he cooks chicken with chestnuts. In winter, he stews bubbling bone broth.
The debt is paid off bit by bit amid the bustle of daily life.
Hearts are soothed, little by little, by the warmth of human kindness.
Then news arrives that the old neighborhood is going to be redeveloped.
Only then do they realize...
This little shop with no sign.
Has long since become the warmest place on the whole street.
Very humane, very good
