The Old Times Under the Roots of the Old City

A large group of people live under the city wall of Xi'an. Wang Jie grew up here and his parents grew old here. In the summer of 2008, he dreamed of becoming an archaeologist and exploring ancient tombs to dig out treasures. Then he failed the college entrance examination... In the summer of 2018, he started dreaming again, wanting to get married and have a family, and then his girlfriend who he had been in love with for many years ran away... In the summer of 2026, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he still lost his job and became a middle-aged unemployed uncle. Wang Jie still lives under the city wall. People, wherever they are used to staying all their lives, that is home.
