Lin Wan has been living in her mother's emotional whirlpool since she was five years old.
After her parents divorced, she became the inheritor of her mother's negative emotions, the "scapegoat" for family changes, and the "emotional spouse" who was forced to bear the pressure of mortgage loans. On the eve of the high school entrance examination at the age of sixteen, her mother lost contact late at night. She took a taxi alone and rushed to the hospital ten kilometers away, only to receive threats and silence. She tried her best to get into a key high school, but her mother blamed herself for all the failures.
Years later, she dug into the junk bin and found her mother's old film camera. The moment she presses the shutter, she can return to the moment when the photo was taken as a ghost.
She walked through the empty living room of her childhood, the crying in the alleyway of junior high school, the hospital corridor on the eve of the high school entrance examination, and herself clutching the medical certificate at the door of the clinic... She thought she could change her regrets, but found that nothing could be changed.
It turns out that this camera was never used to reverse the past, but to allow her to catch the self that she had never been properly loved back then.
Cheng Yuan on the stage is the glimmer of her spirit that she has hidden for a long time. During sleepless nights and moments of collapse, that distant light has pulled her ashore countless times.
Until Shen Yi from the Department of Clinical Psychology came to the door with a stack of old files.
He never advised her to forgive, nor did he say "everything will be fine". He just squatted down and helped her put the broken memories back together piece by piece.
"I'm not here to save you," he said, "I'm here to tell you that you saved yourself a long time ago."
Purpose: Facing the trauma of the original family, women rely on their own strength to complete self-salvation and growth, draw strength from the ordinary glimmer of light, learn to reconcile with the past, and take control of their lives.
