Interstitial Light

A ticket stub from the Republic of China hidden in the interlayer of a century-old poetry collection, half of an unfinished poem, and half of a vague cinnabar seal. Ancient book restorer Wen Ruan did not expect that there was an unfinished confession ninety years ago hidden in the "Qing Yuan Gui Manuscript" that he casually opened. To find the answer, she walked into Lu's watch shop deep in Laomendong and met Lu Shiyan, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. One is repairing time between pages, and the other is restoring time in gears. In a fast era when everyone is rushing forward, they are each other's only fellow travelers. This is a slow and sweet two-way rush - wait until the bell rings and the sun shines forever, and you and I will shine together. Running in both directions | Intangible cultural heritage healing | Urban daily life | Slow and sweet text without bloodshed
