His wife is dead, he’s lost his job, the mortgage is crushing him, and all he has is his little daughter! At twenty-eight, Lin Chen plummets to the very bottom overnight.
After half a year of suppressing his grief, he’s rewarded with a ruthless mass layoff. Watching his sweet little girl hope every day that her mother will come home, he can barely carry on.
At the edge of despair, the Human World Comfort Food System awakens in full force!
With maxed-out cooking skills, he can soothe troubled hearts and minds, and make nourishing baby food just for his little girl.
From then on, Lin Chen sets aside his pride, lights a fire at a street stall, and makes a living one meal at a time.
A bowl of home cooking eases the exhaustion of office workers; a sip of sweet dessert soup softens life’s regrets; a taste of old-fashioned food brings back countless warm memories.
His little street stall becomes a sensation across the city. Countless people down on their luck find comfort in his food, while a gentle nurse quietly stays by his side, year after year.
From a tiny street vendor to a beloved culinary landmark, from the depths of despair to a life of peace.
He makes peace with the past and embraces the years ahead, earning a living through street food with his daughter and bringing warmth to an entire city, one meal at a time!
