No. 28 Yong'an Lane hides a private archive studio that no one knows about.
Shen Yan guards an old house and stores all the secrets of scars in the world that he dare not show others or want to destroy. He believes in the gentlest justice: victims have the right to bury their suffering and let go of the past, which is the only salvation for ordinary people for the rest of their lives. The sealing was voluntary and the unblocking was scheduled. He defended the last dignity and escape route for countless people who were trapped in the mud.
An old tape that had been unsealed for twelve years broke the long-term peace.
Lu Zhiyan from the Municipal Archives Supervision Office follows the rules and abides by the bottom line of public office and public justice. He firmly believes that all injuries should leave traces, and silent annihilation is the greatest injustice to the weak. The justice of the world must never compromise for individual reconciliation.
Private obsession and public order meet on a narrow road, and two completely different kinds of justice confront each other fiercely in a small archive studio.
A second Lingchi who has seen the truth come to light, so he prefers fulfillment and sealing.
A person has personally experienced the lifelong regret after the scars were annihilated, so he sticks to the bottom line and leaves behind traces.
They are opponents with opposite positions and are each other's only confidants.
The two of them each carry half-life old wounds, and they repeatedly pull, run into, and understand each other through countless files in the world and countless choices of good and evil.
Those echoes sealed by time, those unspoken grievances and regrets will eventually transcend the years and be placed, relieved, and understood.
This is a two-way redemption about justice and gentleness, rules and humanity, obsession and reconciliation.
All the deeply buried past has its destination; all the unresolved regrets will eventually have an echo.
Purpose: There is no standard answer to pain, respect individuals, and understand pluralistic justice and reconciliation.
