Glimmer of Light on the Way Home

Lin Shen, who is in his twenties, has become the most inconspicuous "part" in this bustling city. During the day, he was a submissive planner in the office building, spending his life in Party A's difficulties and endless "996"; at night, he hid in a ten-square-meter rental house, using wool felt and rags to create ugly dolls, which were his only weapons against the desolate world. Life had bared its fangs at him. The first relationship was defeated by the reality of "having no house or car", and his first love's decisive back at the station became a thorn in his heart; the second relationship was destroyed by the accusation of "not seeking advancement". His ex threw away his most cherished doll and told him that the adult world only cares about utilitarianism. After being repeatedly crushed by life, Lin Shen still did not turn into a cold stone. He carefully guarded the weak original intention in his heart. Until that afternoon, illustrator Su Qian stopped in front of his stall, pointed at a tearful clown and said: "It looks sad, but I see the light in its heart." Because of these words, two lonely souls came closer. She understands his silence, and he understands her persistence. There are no earth-shattering vows, only a tacit understanding of working side by side. When his talent was finally seen by the world, and when the hustle and bustle of the city could no longer cover up his inner voice, Lin Shen took Su Qian's hand and made the final decision. Escape from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and return to the small town full of fireworks. Open a warm doll shop, raise a cat, keep one person, and spend the rest of your life. This is a story about mending oneself in the midst of fragmentation, and finally a gentle breakout in this utilitarian world.
