She woke up and became a visitor in her own memory. Thirty-two-year-old female detective Shen Qing woke up from a coma after a serious injury, but her memory stayed in her childhood. She remembers her father being a truck driver and remembering to remind him not to get out of the truck. She remembers her mother's young appearance. But the world in front of me cruelly declares: my father has passed away long ago, my mother is old, and the calendar has torn off more than 20 years. The man in military uniform holding her hand tightly and crying beside the hospital bed was said to be her husband. She is called "Shen Qing" by everyone, a police officer who has been awarded for meritorious services, a wife who lost her child, and a miracle who was snatched back from the line of life and death. But to her, "Shen Qing" is a strange name, a past that has been cleared, and an "old friend" who needs to be re-investigated. Her memory was trapped in a fog, and she was forced to use her remaining police instincts to launch a silent investigation directed at herself: Why can't I find any case of her serious injury on the Internet? Whose tears are locked in that dusty baby room at home? What is the bottomless self-blame in the husband's eyes? And that recurring dream about his father's car accident, is it a warning, or is it an echo of something that has already happened? This is not only a journey to find memories, but also a difficult journey to identify love. "Wake Up as an Old Friend" is a non-fiction work based on real traumatic experiences. It records how a woman pieced herself together like a detective after her memory was cleared, relearned emotions like a child, and finally grew up for the second time under the witness of love. How do we recognize ourselves? When the past turns to dust, can love still be a witness?
