42-Year-old Chen Mo lives like a scrapped machine. Driving during the day and driving online ride-hailing services at night, text messages about credit card overdrafts and dialysis bills filled the mobile phone screen. His ex-wife scolded him as a coward, but his daughter Duoduo's composition said: "Dad's car is a magic castle carrying stars" - no one knew that this "magician" often broke down and cried in the garage late at night.
One rainy night, he received a special order to go to the nursing home. The old woman who got on the bus held the faded wooden box like a fragile dream. "Drive slower," she said. The rain blurred the car windows, but Chen Mo suddenly froze - this teacher Lin was the Chinese teacher he secretly admired in high school. The photographic works she had encouraged him to take part in were now at the bottom of the stack of yellowed composition papers.
The car was trapped on a collapsed mountain road, and the old man was still protecting the wooden box when he suffered from hypoglycemia. Chen Mo ran for three kilometers in a heavy rain to buy candy. When she came back, she heard her muttering to the composition: "I've always wanted to know who took this unsigned starry sky photo..."
When Teacher Lin handed him the composition text, with the title page saying "Your light should not only shine at night", Chen Mo touched the fruit candy at the bottom of the box that he had secretly put in thirty years ago. It turns out that the deepest night has already buried a glimmer of light that illuminates each other.
