Letter from Wutong

In the summer of 1982, in Wucheng Old Street, Lin Xiaojing, who failed the college entrance examination, thought her life had fallen into gloom. Until she helped her father clear out the attic of a watch shop that was about to close down, and discovered a box of mysterious letters from the past. The letter predicted trivial things that were about to happen in the alley: the Wu family's daughter-in-law would break the soy sauce bottle tomorrow, and the Wang family's boy's weight for setting up a stall would be confiscated... And these predictions came true one by one. One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the quiet old street is undercurrent. Is this letter a prank, a prophecy, or someone who has buried a secret for half his life? At the same time, the torrent of time is beating against this ancient street: ·The iron rice bowl of state-owned factories is on the verge of collapse; ·The wave of "going overseas" to do business is tempting young people; ·The joys and sorrows of the neighbors are quietly staged on the summer night. Lin Xiaojing and her friends quietly opened a "time shop" under the watchful eye of a century-old sycamore tree. They repair clocks that carry time, and they also try to repair their lives that have been wrinkled by the times. They use these "reminders" from the depths of time to clumsily but sincerely guard the fireworks around them. And when the answers to all the letters finally pointed to Lin Xiaojing's attic, she realized that these letters that traveled through time were not to change their fate, but to teach them how to live bravely in the present. This is a light suspense story that takes place in the old days, and it is also a warm picture depicting the joys and sorrows of small people in a big era. The wind blows in Wutong Lane, and the letter arrives in time.
