Silver Man Returns to Dust: Chasing the Light 1861

"The Return of the Silver Man: Chasing the Light 1861" takes the modern workplace and the 19th century American Civil War as dual backgrounds. It tells the story of Lin Teng, a senior architectural designer in Hangzhou, who died suddenly due to continuous overtime work to meet Party A's additional plans, and accidentally traveled to the United States around 1860 (a critical period of the Civil War). After traveling into a foreign land, Lin Teng was confused and at a loss. Faced with an unfamiliar language, different humanities and an imminent civil war, he fell into a desperate situation. By chance, he met Stephen, who was passionate and compassionate. When the two met for the first time, they felt a subtle flutter in their hearts, just like the accidental intersection of two souls. Lin Teng relied on his architectural expertise in space layout and resource integration capabilities to help Stephen and the people around him resolve difficulties many times. The two walked side by side and nourished each other. As they get along more closely, the goodwill between the two gradually sublimates into a restrained same-sex affection. It is not as dramatic, but it becomes more and more firm as they accompany and protect each other day and night. After the outbreak of the civil war, the two joined hands in caring for wounded soldiers. Amidst the flames of war and the test of life and death, they protected each other, warmed the wounded, and practiced the concepts of equality and warmth. Lin Teng also adapted from ignorance and gradually integrated into the times. He understood the land and democracy of the United States, and also understood the meaning of perseverance and affection. In the end, the civil war came to an end, and Lin Teng faced an open choice between returning to his original world and staying with Stephen. A deep same-sex love that spanned time, space and eras left an immortal mark in the long river of time.
