In the autumn of 1962, the Lin family had been out of food for three days. Three-and-a-half-year-old Lin Nuannuan was so hungry she hugged her chipped enamel bowl and swallowed hard.

But when she pushed open the wooden door of her family's dilapidated woodshed, one step took her straight into a modern Hengdian short-drama filming set!

The director saw her shabby clothes and sallow, thin face, mistook her for a pitiful child extra, and handed her a box of greasy braised pork and rice. "You did a great job, little one. There's more after you finish!"

From then on, Lin Nuannuan began a busy routine of transporting things between two worlds.

Today, she acted in a tearjerker to score two boxes of chicken-leg rice, then brought them back to the 1960s to fill Grandma's and her older siblings' stomachs. Tomorrow, she played a wealthy family's missing child and earned two hundred yuan for a day's work. She went to a modern vegetable market to buy white flour, lard, and fruit candies, then swept up floral padded jackets, military overcoats, flashlights, and soap at a wholesale market!

The modern film crew couldn't help exclaiming, "Nuannuan's hometown has such retro taste. Her whole family just loves wearing big floral jackets and military overcoats!"

When the wooden door upgraded, allowing her family from the 1960s to come through and take odd jobs and sell naturally grown wild greens and mountain goods, just how prosperous would life become for the Lin family?
