Synopsis

In an age moving at such a rapid pace, short videos are all the rage and short dramas are on the rise. Everything is unfolding at a furious speed, and it is harder than ever to keep a calm heart. Yet every now and then, we still remember those slower days, those people, and those events. Perhaps they can no longer offer us any lessons for life, but they are truly what I have witnessed and experienced over half a lifetime. I feel I should put them in order and record them, to commemorate the people who quietly toiled and struggled to get by through those ordinary years. And to remember the youth I can never reclaim.
