Echo of Old Things

Lin Yanzhi, an ancient book restorer, has a secret: she can hear old objects talking. From her grandmother's magnolia silver hairpin to a worn old pocket watch, in the past ten years, she listened to the old things telling about the past, but it was changed by a copper bell with a patina - it choked with tears and mentioned the "pomegranate tree in the fire", making her realize that the whispers of the old things contained a long-lasting story.​ The brittle letterhead of Mr. Chen, a regular customer, became the key. The female voice "Wait until the war is over to see the lotus flowers in the West Lake" overlapped with the roar of the bell "It's his taste", revealing the war-torn love between Chen Jingming and Su Yutang. During the restoration, old objects such as the magnolia cinnabar seal and the faded pomegranate flower album emerged, piecing together the two people's concerns across life and death.​ Lin Yanzhi repairs the paper and stitches together the emotions of the years. In this ancient and modern mystery, the love and waiting among old things will eventually transcend time and reach the person you want to see.​
