She set out from an old city, carrying her mother's back, the light and shadow of her grandfather's old house, the scars of youth and the regrets of love, across thousands of mountains and rivers to find her own world.
Cheng Yanlan, who has been living in the care of others since childhood, is quiet and steady, and dreams of becoming an architectural designer. Under the silent arrangement of fate, she met Yang Yuntian, joined Mr. Bai's team, and worked hard for three years just to pay the first tuition fee for studying abroad. From Asia to the United States, from Hollywood studios to art museum exhibition halls, she tried to find the definition of belonging through hard work and wandering.
Re-examining the scars of youth and women's growth; realizing the fragility of life and the unfulfilled "if"; and a gentle and firm approach made her feel "cherished" in her daily life like she had never experienced before.
She once traveled far away, and also once looked back. Getting closer again - my mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and the past was gradually lost, and she realized that "home" is never a building, but a person or memory that makes you want to stay.
Those paintings, letters, films and drawings of old houses connected the fragments and emotions of her life, and finally allowed her to return to herself and build a "home" that truly belonged to her.
This is a story about growth, farewell, female destiny and emotional choices. Across coasts and cities, in the gap between love and life, a young woman slowly grows up and builds a habitat for herself where "old dreams and new life can be placed."
Purpose: How a girl goes through the storms of life, rebuilds herself amidst loneliness and trauma, and finally finds her direction and sense of belonging in life.
