Lu Qingqi, a writer stuck in a creative bottleneck, came to the Lucheng Old Street that was about to be demolished in search of materials. He originally wanted to "harvest" a story curiously, but unexpectedly broke into a real, majestic and warm world.
Here, every hammer mark of the silent ship repairman hides life and death at sea; the calculator of the grocery store proprietress is tapping the future of the entire family; the lighthouse worker protects not only the waterway, but also the memory of the people of the city. In the changing tide of the times, Lu Qingqi gradually washed away his own glitz and arrogance, transforming from a "spectator" and "predator" of life into a "listener" and "guardian" of stories.
He used a voice recorder and words to humbly record the epic stories of every ordinary person on this street. In the end, what he wrote was not a novel about "demolition", but a community life chronicle called "Qinghuan" - a warm epic about life itself written by all living beings.
This book aims to explore: When our physical home will eventually change, what makes our spiritual home unsinkable? The answer is hidden in every sincere listening, every shared memory, and the courage to move forward after the joke.
