Repair Shop in the Morning Light

The "Lao Chen Watch and Electrical Repair Shop" that has been operating in the old streets and alleys for 30 years is facing the dual dilemma of demolition and lack of patronage. Lao Chen is skilled in craftsmanship, but he is unable to repair smartphones and smart homes. At this time, grandson Xiaoxu, who was confused after graduating from college and returning home due to setbacks in the workplace, was reluctantly arranged to help. There are constant conflicts between the grandfather and grandson. Lao Chen insists on the concept of "repairing the old as before", while Xiao Xu believes that these old objects should have been eliminated long ago. In the process of repairing old objects full of memories for neighbors (a gramophone that carries the memory of marriage, an eye protection lamp that his son bought for his mother), Xiaoxu gradually understands the human connection and time behind "repair". He used a new media platform to film the repair process into a short video to tell the story behind the object, which unexpectedly became popular. In the end, the grandfather and grandson combined traditional craftsmanship and modern technology to transform the repair shop into an "urban memory station". They not only restored artifacts, but also protected a precious emotional connection in the fast-paced city.
