Circulating Goodwill

In the fictional town of "Wangchuan", 70-year-old Su Apo uses a special "currency" to purchase items - carved stones, dry leaves, and rusty buttons. Only those who are truly willing to accept these "memory coins" can see the light. Everyone in the town called her a "crazy grandma", but they were willing to trade with her. As the story unfolds, the secret is gradually revealed: these "coins" come from Su Mingyuan, the grandma's sacrificed son. During his lifetime, he believed that "everything has value" and used his life to protect a child who fell into the water. Grandma inherited his "account book" and used "memory coins" to heal everyone related to "loss" in the town - the sugar painting master who lost his child, the stranger who lost his hometown, the young man who lost his dream... The rescued child Lin Xiaoman learned about his life experience when he was fourteen years old: he was not only the life saved by Mingyuan, but also the biological son of the rescued Wang Jianguo. Two fathers, two relationships, and a profound discussion on "whether goodwill needs to be repaid." Eventually, the whole town started making their own "memory coins" to help each other. The boy who once fell into the water became the successor of goodwill, bringing this never-ending cycle of warmth to the further world. This is not a sad story, but a gentle guide on "how to live well". It tells us: Goodwill is not a debt, but a gift; it is not an end, but a cycle. When you are willing to open your heart, the most ordinary objects can shine, and the smallest warmth can change the world. Suitable to read on a winter night, and then - give it to someone who needs it.
