This is a story about growth, pain and redemption. Mo Yi, a soul crushed by the weight of life, after the death of his mother and the betrayal of his father, was left with only scars all over his body and a scar that pierced himself in the palm of his hand. Wu Qi, the boy who had been watching him since high school, spent five, ten, and a lifetime teaching him two things: how to live with scars, and how to be loved.
From the campus to the workplace, from Beijing to Baizhangling, from the blood on the bathroom floor to the oaths taken in the Irish Church. They have experienced workplace strife, the death of relatives, and self-doubt, and they have also witnessed each other's transformation from youth to maturity, from vulnerability to resilience. Mo Yi has grown from a canary who needs to be protected to an eagle who can stand alone; Wu Qi has grown from a clumsy boy chasing love to a husband who knows how to protect his partner.
There is pain in this story - the pain of being pierced in the palm, the pain of losing a loved one, the pain of being betrayed. But there is also warmth - the warmth of a coat, the aroma of a bowl of noodles, the solidity of a hug. There is even more growth - in the bamboo sea of Baizhangling, Mo Yi learned to reconcile with the pain; under the spotlight of the industry summit, he won his own respect.
Eventually, the scars on the palm of my hand faded into fine white lines, and the ring on my ring finger became warmer and moister with the passage of time. They went from "I protect you" to "We stand side by side", from "I love you" to "Let's go home".
This is a story about how to live well with scars, how to be loved and learn to love, and how to find the person who makes you "home" in the vast sea of people.
