Qin Xiaomei, an educated youth, carried only half a piece of dry food on her back and clutched the old pair of scissors left by her mother, struggling to squeeze into the green train returning to the city. This is a micro-epic focusing on craftsmanship, survival and dreams. Through the window lattice of the tailor shop, we can see how a small piece of fabric carries the ups and downs of an individual's destiny, vividly recording the scene in the early years of reform and opening up, when fireworks were rising in the streets and alleys, and people's ideas collided fiercely. Just under the tailor's scissors, the spring of an era is being carefully cut out in a difficult but vivid manner.
