Quiet Corner

28-Year-old Li Jing is a standard "urban elite" in Shanghai. She works in a high-intensity job in the glamorous CBD. Her life is filled with KPIs, mortgages and social anxiety, and she has fallen into severe insomnia and emotional depression. By chance, she took over a cooperation project with a border town in Yunnan. There, she met the male protagonist Zhou Yu, who gave up his high salary and returned to his hometown to open a B&B and practice a "semi-urban, semi-rural" lifestyle. Zhou Yu and his friends (a freelance designer who works as a carpenter and a Ph. D. Who studies ecological agriculture) show a completely different possibility of life. Li Jing shuttles between two worlds, one is the prosperity and pressure of the city, and the other is the tranquility and fulfillment of the small town. She did not simply "escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou", but in the comparison between the two lives, she gradually saw her true inner desire, and finally found her own balance point - perhaps not in a specific place, but an inner state of "this place of peace is my hometown".
