New Sprouts in the Wood Grain

Between "lying flat" and "rolling in", he chose the third path - to go home and pick up his grandfather's planer. Lin Xiaohe, a tired "996 programmer", received an emergency call from his hometown when his friend was depressed and resigned and he was on the verge of collapse. Grandpa suffered a stroke, and the old carpentry workshop, which carries childhood memories, is about to be bulldozed by the bulldozers of the times. Should we continue to waste our lives in the cubicles of the city, or should we go back and protect the last warmth and truth in our lives? He chose the latter. Faced with the confusion of relatives and friends and the malice of competitors, Lin Xiaohe did not escape. He set up his mobile phone and opened a "River Restoration Workshop" amidst the flying shavings and sawdust. What he repaired was not just broken wooden combs, bullet-riddled mailboxes, and old desks that held oaths... What he repaired were broken family relationships, lost promises, and dusty original aspirations. This is a story about choosing "repair" and "treasure" in the "disposable" era. It tells the story of how a young man used the oldest craftsmanship to create a warm place for himself and more people outside the cold world of algorithms. Cracks are the scars of the past and the place where new shoots sprout.
