"Guiyu" - There is an island in everyone's heart that they long to return to. Deep in the ancient town of Qingxi, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, there is an old house "Guiyu" that carries hundreds of years of memories. This is not only Zhao Nuannuan's efforts to protect her grandmother's legacy, but also a harbor where seven lonely hearts meet. When idealism encounters the impact of reality, when business logic collides with humanistic sentiments, when seven urban young people from different backgrounds - a music producer who quits his job, a painter who escapes commercialization, a technical man who discovers his conscience, a cultural scholar who insists on academics, a stubborn wood carver, a responsible contractor, and a homestay host who insists on his dream - jointly face business suppression, demolition threats, trust betrayal and survival crisis, what will they choose? This is a story about search and return, about the difficult choice between the coldness of the modern city and the warmth of the ancient town, between business interests and the humanistic spirit, and between personal dreams and collective responsibility. When heavy rain strikes, when funds run out, and friendships are tested, can this old house become a true "return island"? "Guiyu" not only tells the survival history of a B&B, but also the warm journey of a group of modern people looking for spiritual belonging in an impetuous era. It proves that in this fast-paced world, there are still people who are willing to believe in the power of temperature.
Purpose: The work mainly expresses the persistence of the value of traditional culture and human warmth under the impact of the fast pace and commercialization of modern society. Through the experiences of seven young people running a B&B in an ancient town, it explores the contradiction between ideals and reality, the balance between personal dreams and collective responsibility, as well as everyone's inner desire and search for "home" in this impetuous era. The core idea conveyed by the work is: real success should not be measured only by commercial value. Those "temperatures" that carry humanistic care, cultural heritage and sincere emotions are the important force that supports our spiritual world and are also the most precious wealth in modern society.
