Su Shi, who was born with amblyopia, met volunteer Lu Guang whose right eye was covered with cotton star gauze in the Braille section of the library. He used to be a person who loved photography, but he injured his eye while fighting a fire, but he lied that he still had hope of regaining his sight in his right eye, just to spend more time with Su Shi to experience the beauty of the world - from rescuing a pot of mint together, to handing over orange candies every day, to agreeing to take photos of the rooftop clock tower together after regaining his sight.
While Su Shi was looking forward to the future, Lu Guang left the glass jar with mint and the letter, confessed the truth that the vision in his left eye was also declining, and left alone. Su Shi found the bilingual photo album he left behind on the rooftop of the old library. It was full of detailed memories about her, as well as the faded orange candy. Later, Su Shi saw the world clearly and took pictures of all the scenery that Lu Guang had never seen before. But on a snowy day, he picked up the bronze camera model he left behind on the rooftop, and then he understood the regrets hidden in the tenderness - he never wanted to leave, but he just didn't want her to see him gradually falling into darkness. The mint is evergreen and the smell of orange is still there, but the person who told her all the beauty of the world remains in time forever.
Purpose: 1. Gentle redemption in incompleteness: The story uses Su Shi's amblyopia and Lu Guang's eye injury as the entry point to show the mutual healing between "imperfect" individuals - Lu Guang uses words to describe a clear world for Su Shi, and Su Shi uses his presence to inject warmth into Lu Guang's dark times, proving that incompleteness is never an obstacle to love, but makes each other's company more precious. 2. Regret is the remnant of time: there is no vigorous separation of life and death, but the essence of regret is outlined with "affection in lies", "unfulfilled promises" and "late truth": Lu Guang's silent exit and Su Shi's obsession with seeing the world for him make regret no longer the end of pain, but the power to move forward with longing, hidden in mints, orange candies and photos, becoming the lingering warmth of time. 3. Use love to fight against the desolation of the world: Lu Guang still chose to weave the hope of "recovering his sight" for Su Shi in the despair of blindness; Su Shi still recorded the world with their agreement after losing his sight. Their stories convey a belief: even if life is full of unknowns and losses, those sincere companionships and subtle beauties are enough to become a light against desolation, giving every ordinary moment the meaning of being remembered.
