29-Year-old Lin Wan divides her life in the voice: during the day, she is a silent document proofreader, and at night, she transforms into a voice companion to chat with "Night Breeze".
My father has Parkinson's disease in the middle stage, my mother has complications from diabetes, and her monthly medical expenses are like an alarm clock; my boyfriend Chen Mo, a 985 master's degree in economics, has submitted his 143rd resume and wears a straight suit on Didi.
In the family group, relatives ask, "When will I pick up my parents to enjoy their blessings?" Until the convenience store lottery machine, a string of numbers lit up the light in despair—a jackpot of 2.8 Million! That night, they screamed silently in the Didi car, calculating medical expenses, elevator rooms, entrepreneurial funds, debts of gratitude...
However, the answer from the prize redemption office was as calm as a knife: "The system failed, and the actual prize was 280 yuan." The malfunctioning machine, the shopkeeper with stomach cancer, the crumpled 20,000 yuan compensation - everyone is trapped in their own desperate situation. There is no villain, only struggle.
Lin Wan accepted the money and remitted it to the hospital. Chen Mo continued to recite the English test. Late at night, the customer's request came from the earphones: "Tell me a fairy tale." She cleared her throat and started in the gentlest voice: "Once upon a time, there was a little girl selling matches..." In this era of frequent failures, we are all selling something in exchange for the power to continue to surface.
Intent: A contemporary fable about individuals fighting against sinking with their tiny perseverance under the pressure of system failure and life.
