On the beach after the tide ebbs, Lin Xiting squats down and pushes aside the gravel softened by the sea water. The metal hit the iron box and made a dull sound.
Jiang Rimu stood behind her.
"Ten years." Lin Xiting said softly.
When the iron box was opened, there were two letters, a bunch of red rope bells, and a brass key with 1965 engraved on it.
In the distance, the setting sun on the breakwater was sinking into the sea. This fishing village was once almost demolished, but now it has become the most special stretch of coastline in the coastal resort area.
Jiang Rimu: "Now, it's time to tell you the story about our two families."
In that summer ten years ago, Jiang Rimu didn't know that he would meet a fishing village, a girl from the fishing village, and something he wanted to protect in the future.
Purpose: In the wave of urbanization and rural revitalization, the real protection is not to retain the old days, but to give hometown and loved ones a new future.
