Synopsis

#Tearjerker Fiction #Realistic Fiction #Urban Romance #Heartbreak and Healing #Stories from the Margins He's a delivery driver living in a subdivided room in the western part of the city. She's a designer in an office tower in the Guomao district. One glance on a rooftop, and she bends down to step into his world, but his insecurity makes him push her away again and again. She quietly submits his work to publishers and draws up plans for a bookstore. In Suzhou, she writes to tell him, “I've waited three years for you.” But he's trapped in the belief that he's not good enough, and can't bring himself to answer. The heartbreak lies in love lost across the chasm of class: Old Zhou coughing up blood as he refuses to stop writing when the demolition notice goes up; Zhao Lei's barbecue shops closing one by one; his mother smiling and saying “I'm fine” after a fall; and the old cat refusing to leave the ruins. The consolation is this: she never looked down on him. He was the one who looked down on himself. At last, he opens the USB drive and sees the words “I remember it all” on the plans. He cries like a child. He finishes his second book, and the bookstore moves from the western side of the city to the east, keeping the same four-character name. After surgery, Old Zhou says, “I can write for another ten years.” Smoke billows on the day Zhao Lei opens his new shop. His mother dances in the square in a red tracksuit, and the cat jumps onto the new windowsill to bask in the sun. The wedding is simple. Old Zhou gives a speech: “You've grown up.” Shen Ruoxi smiles in her white dress just as she did on that rooftop five years ago. The western part of the city is gone, but the distance ahead remains. The lights are still on, and the people are still here. Enduring, writing, keeping one another company: that's the heroism of ordinary people.
