Where the Heart Is, There Is Home

Lin Feng's daughter, Lin Wangshu, went abroad in 2019. During the pandemic, she withstood the pressure, won a full scholarship to a prestigious university, and after graduating with her bachelor's degree, went straight into the university's notoriously demanding doctoral program in sociology. Now, seven years later, Lin Wangshu has returned to her hometown of Chengdu, Sichuan, with a research project from her advisor.

They have been apart for seven years. Since his wife's death, Lin Feng has raised his daughter by himself. How much has she changed over those seven years? And will Lin Feng, now nearly fifty, find a generational divide between himself and his daughter?

As for the project her advisor gave her, “Home is where the heart is,” how will Lin Wangshu complete it?

Food, scenery, the city's history, the challenges of remarriage, generational gaps between father and daughter, and the friendship of neighbors: let's savor life's many facets in the welcoming city of Chengdu.
