Synopsis
In Su City, which has the charm of a Jiangnan water town, the independent bookstore "Evening Reading Time" is the spiritual harbor of the owner Su Wan - she has a gentle personality but hides her emotional sadness. She expresses her heart through handmade books and carefully guards this tranquility. Lu Zhao, a partner of the architectural firm, is a rigorous and indifferent "workaholic" in the eyes of outsiders, but deep down he has a childhood complex about the old city and longs for the warmth of fireworks. An accidental encounter in early autumn caused the two to intersect due to the "old city renovation". The bookstore was included in the scope of demolition, making them stand on opposite sides of "protection" and "promotion". From the initial dispute and negotiation, to the unexpected care on a rainy night, and running side by side when revising the plan, Su Wan's tenacity and tenderness gradually melted Lu Zhao's coldness, and Lu Zhao's delicacy and protection also made Su Wan shaken. However, the troubles caused by their predecessors, the pressure of their careers, and the shadows of the past came one after another. Misunderstandings brought the two of them to a freezing point, and the fate of the bookstore was also unresolved. In the end, an old diary recording the changes in the old city becomes the key to unlocking the misunderstanding. They chose to be honest with each other. Lu Zhao withstood the pressure to preserve the bookstore and cleverly integrated the bookstore with the new building; Su Wan also got out of her guard and embraced this hard-won relationship. On Christmas Eve in late winter, when the bookstore has become a new landmark in Sioux City, two people who were once lonely finally found the warmth and perfection that belongs to each other in the room full of books and falling snow. Purpose: 1. The balance of protection and compromise: using bookstores as a carrier to explore the contradiction between "demolition and retention" in urban development, and to show the wisdom of individuals who not only stick to what they cherish in their hearts, but also learn to reconcile with reality in the changing times. ? 2. A two-way journey of healing and growth: Su Wan uses love to get over her emotional pain, and Lu Zhao balances career and life because of love, interpreting that "good relationships are each other's warm sun", illuminating each other's past haze, and becoming a better version of themselves together. ? 3. Preservation of urban memory: Through the fate of the bookstore in the old city, it is emphasized that architecture is not only a space, but also a carrier of emotions and collective memory, calling for the protection of the cultural roots and fireworks temperature of the city in the process of modernization.
