Synopsis

#Realistic Heartbreak Romance #Love in an Urban Village #First Person #Growth and Redemption #Ensemble Cast #No Harem My name is Chen Yang. I'm 26, and the day I was laid off in Shenzhen, I had just 347 yuan and 80 cents in my pocket. I returned to the urban village of Minzhi. Before I could even figure out how I'd survive the next day, someone pounded on my door. My landlady, Su Lanxin, stood outside in a navy-blue suit, with a presence as direct and imposing as Shennan Avenue. She said the property was being redeveloped under a unified rental scheme and I had three days to move out. I told her I had nowhere to go. She looked at me, shut the door, and left. I thought that was the worst day of my life. Later, my first love, Xu Jing, secretly recommended me for a job behind her husband's back. Zhang Ying, the livestreamer next door, drank with me all night, and Liu Li, the substitute teacher, left a bowl of rice porridge outside my door every morning. I thought I'd finally found a place for myself in Shenzhen. Then Su Lanxin kissed me on the rooftop. Then the wedding invitations went out to everyone: she was the bride, and I wasn't the groom. The evening breeze in Shenzhen never waits for anyone. This city crushed me, trampled me, and threw me out. Then, in the waves of Huizhou, I gathered myself back together, piece by piece. Many years later, someone asked if Shenzhen had repaid its debt to me. I said, “What I was owed wasn't from Shenzhen. It was all the words I left unsaid and all the hands I was too afraid to hold.” But Shenzhen taught me one thing: if the wind has blown you away, you must eventually become the wind yourself. This is the story of an ordinary man's ten years in Shenzhen: a story of hardship, of debts owed, and of the light four women left in his life. It's not a wish-fulfillment story. It's about a man slowly learning, as he struggles through the mire, how not to let others or himself down.
