39 Years old, a "Shanghai drifter" woman who has worked hard in Shanghai for fifteen years. She was once the "most promising" child in the eyes of everyone in the small town - she was admitted to a prestigious university, stayed in a big city, and joined a foreign company. However, at the age of 39, she was laid off, broken up, and the house she rented expired. A phone call brought her back to her hometown in Hunan - her grandmother was hospitalized after a fall.
Returning to the small town "Qingzhu Town" after many years of absence, Lin Wanqiu found that everything had changed, but it seemed that nothing had changed. The things she desperately wanted to escape from - the gossip of her neighbors, the nagging of her parents, the isolation of the small town - turned out to be the warmest haven when she was most vulnerable.
