Old Alley Street Grocery Store

Hidden in the alley of the old city is a "universal small shop" - it does not sell regular goods, but only helps people out of trouble: some people come to repair old things that hide memories, some want to exchange secrets that are deep in their hearts, and some hope to borrow an order and find people who have been separated for many years. Freelance illustrator Lin Ye unexpectedly became a temporary assistant in a small shop due to his mother's serious illness. His daily job was not to make a living by painting, but to deliver letters for the shop owner, record the stories of customers, and secretly write down the details hidden in the order in a sketchbook: an old sewing machine with a name engraved on it, an unsent letter from home, and a A watch that stopped at a specific moment... In the small space of the small shop, we witnessed the regrets and reconciliation of ordinary people: some people used the restoration of old items to let go of their guilt for their loved ones, some people solved the knots of their hearts that had been broken for many years by exchanging secrets, and Lin Ye, in the process of searching for the whereabouts of Nian Nian, understood the guilt hidden in his mother's silence. This is not an ordinary grocery store, but a "sheltering shelter" for people in the old city. Every order is an unfinished life, and every assistance is a look back at the past. When the 20-year mystery was finally revealed, Lin Ye realized that the truly "universal" thing about the tuck shop is not the ability to solve problems, but the ability to allow everyone trapped in time to find the courage to reconcile with the past and move forward into the future.
