Recognize You in Passing

At the age of seventeen, Shen Zhiyao died in the summer when Lin Xu loved her most. For seven years, Lin Xu was like a piece of gravel stuck in a gear, stubbornly staying in town A. He guarded the rusted iron gate on the rooftop, guarded the century-old camphor dug out from the river, guarded the orange candy that had long since melted and became sticky, and lived his life as a monument to mourn his youth. Until that old building will also be demolished. As a mysterious letter, an old key and a forgotten sketchbook appear one after another, the truth about seven years ago is slowly revealed. It was a "time capsule" that Shen Zhiyao prepared for him at the end of his life: hundreds of letters to the future, a picture album recording his youthful appearance, and a mission called "Looking for Happiness". From 2019 to 2027, from midsummer to late autumn, Lin Xu was forced to learn to collect starlight in tiny daily moments. He finally understood that some farewells lasted throughout his life, but spring would still come on time. This is a story about "how to continue living with pain." In a town where old and new alternate, at the junction of memory and reality, Lin Xu spent seven years learning one thing: love is not about trapping oneself in place, but living well for the person who is no longer there.
