Fireworks Place on Earth

In 2026, the small southern town "Linxi" is going through the pain of old city reconstruction and industrial upgrading. Lin Wan, a 32-year-old community mediator, shuttles between parents' feuds and demolition disputes every day, trying to resolve seemingly unsolvable conflicts with patience and wisdom. Not only does she have to deal with a stubborn old man living alone and a troubled single mother, but she also has to deal with pressure from within the family - her mother is urging her to get married, and her brother has failed to start a business and is in debt. Just when she was exhausted, Chen Mo, an architectural designer who returned from Beijing, broke into her life. With complicated emotions about his hometown, he took over the old neighborhood renovation project, but his relationship with the residents was tense due to conflicting ideas. Two people who also carry the same past gradually understand each other's inner softness and persistence through collisions and cooperation. No golden fingers, no superpowers, just the weight of real life and glimmers of humanity. This book depicts all living beings in contemporary China's grassroots society with delicate brushstrokes, showing the struggle, growth and mutual salvation of ordinary people in the torrent of the times. This is a realistic masterpiece dedicated to all those who shine silently in ordinary days.
