Lin Yan is a designer who is deeply involved in the restoration of ancient buildings. He spent half his life buried among the brackets and cornices, salvaging the remnants of time among the damaged wooden components and mottled bricks, and used patience and ingenuity to repair ancient buildings that were on the verge of extinction. His life is slow and quiet, and his lifelong pursuit is to preserve the thousand-year-old character of ancient buildings.
A fire breaks out in a century-old house in an old city, causing two lives that had never intersected to suddenly collide. The flames soaring into the sky engulfed the ancient buildings, and thick smoke filled the ruins. Fire rescue personnel Shen Jin rushed into the fire scene in reverse direction, charged for rescue, and struggled to control the fire in the dangerous situation.
Lin Yan, who was outside the cordon, witnessed with his own eyes Shen Jin's courage and perseverance in the face of danger. Having been associated with ancient cultural relics for a long time, he faced danger and the fierce and vigorous power of life for the first time. After the fire was dealt with, Shen Jin saw Lin Yan standing in front of the blackened beams and recording the details of the damage with regret, and understood his long and hot ideal rooted in ancient buildings.
Shen Jin has been working in the frontline firefighting position all year round, and rushes to life-or-death situations as soon as the alarm bell rings. Everyday life is full of explosions, thick smoke, and unknown crises; Lin Yan spends all day at his desk drawing drawings, visiting ancient construction sites, and playing with time in the long and boring repair work. Moving and staying still, running into danger and concentrating on preserving the past, the career trajectories are completely different.
The two people kept in contact with each other due to the linkage between fires in ancient buildings and the rescue and repair of ancient buildings after disasters. Lin Yan knew that there were many dangers involved when Shen Jin went out to the police, and always waited silently, properly tolerating her fatigue and tension after returning from the police. Shen Jin slowly approached Lin Yan's world of ancient architecture, and understood the sincere persistence of the cultural heritage behind the mortise and tenon joints and wooden work.
She risked her life to protect the living people, while he devoted himself to restoring and retaining the thousand-year-old historical relics. The fierce fire and the ancient eaves look at each other from a distance, and the enthusiastic rush and the quiet persistence reflect each other. Two people with very different paces fall in love with each other through mutual understanding and support, and find a long-term and stable destination between the noise of fireworks and the silence of ancient eaves.
Intention: The fire scene goes retrograde to protect thousands of fireworks, and the desk is repaired to preserve the thousand-year cultural heritage. Two completely different ideals reflect each other, the noise of fireworks and the silence of ancient eaves embrace each other, and the weight of perseverance can be understood in the two-way understanding.
