26-Year-old Lin Wan was hit all over by the triple blow of taking the blame at work, breaking up with her lover, and the death of her grandmother. She escaped from the bustling but cold city and returned to the smoky old city to take over the old-time grocery store left by her grandmother.
I wanted to resell the store and walk away, but when I was sorting out the old things in the house, I got caught up in my grandmother's "Jiuji of Old Things". Yellowed handkerchiefs, stopped clocks, faded love letters, mutilated toys... Every inconspicuous old thing hides an unknown life story, and hides the unspoken regrets and tenderness of the world.
Here, she meets the gentle and introverted cultural relic restorer Shen Zhiyan, who always helps her silently when she is in trouble. One person keeps the shop, and the other repairs the old things. Together, they dismantle the joys and sorrows behind the old things, heal the hearts of strangers, and slowly heal each other's scars.
Lin Wan gradually understood that what grandma kept was never tatters, but thoughts forgotten by time; and what she picked up was not just old things, but fireworks in the world, the courage to reconcile with the past, and even her own place to belong.
Old things hide deep feelings, and time passes all sentient beings. I hope everyone who is wandering can find a place of peace of mind here.
Concept: Every old thing hides a piece of life;
What we pick up is not the rags, but the forgotten tenderness and regret.
