Lin Bin, a food delivery rider, found a glowing old book in his rented room. From then on, he could hear the entire city weeping. He wasn’t a doctor, but he could use his own lifespan to extend other people’s lives. Every person he saved shortened his own life by a little. Yet when he heard the coughing, sobbing, and sighing in the dead of night, he still couldn’t sit by and do nothing. He was no big shot, just an ordinary young man who could barely afford his rent. But some things aren’t a question of whether you can do them: once you’ve heard the cries, you can’t pretend you haven’t. Delivering food by day, saving lives by night. Loneliness wasn’t his enemy; it was part of him.
This book is not about a genius who defies fate and changes his destiny. It is about an ordinary person who has delivered food, worked in the kitchen, and been rubbed repeatedly by life. In the darkest corner of life, he accidentally opened an old book and gradually turned himself into the light of others. I understand Lin Bin's loneliness, and I also understand his calmness. If you have ever felt like you have nothing, this book will tell you - you are here, and that's all.
