The World Will Eventually Forget Us

The meeting of two lonely souls. 36-Year-old Yang Guoer is an independent curator and restorer of ancient books who lives in seclusion on the edge of the city. A failed curation made her see through the utilitarianism and hypocrisy of the art world. She has since closed her mind and runs a studio called "Jingyu". She is like a modern version of Xiao Longnu, guarding her "Tomb of the Living Dead", keeping company with ancient books and paintings, and adhering to the purity of art in solitude. 22-Year-old He Muyang is a street graffiti artist who dropped out of the Academy of Fine Arts. He has lacked the warmth of his family since he was a child and is dissatisfied with the dogmatism of the academy. Like a savagely growing weed, he uses his paintbrush to express his inner loneliness and desire for freedom. He wanders the streets of the city and cannot find his own destination. One night, He Muyang graffitied on the outer wall of "Jingyu" and was caught on the spot by Yang Guoer. This was originally an unexpected conflict, but because of the vitality and loneliness contained in the graffiti, the two lonely souls recognized each other. Yang Guoer gave up calling the police and asked him to stay in the studio to "pay off the debt." From then on, the unruly young man broke into the quiet world of the cold woman.
