Sunrise in Wutong

Thirty-two-year-old Lin Zhiwei ended her many years of project work abroad and returned to Wutongli, which she had always wanted to leave. She was responsible for the coordination of residents in the renovation of old communities. On her first day at work, she received an elevator co-signature sheet with forty-seven names written on it. But after actually knocking on the doors of each household, she discovered that the elderly on the sixth floor couldn't afford to wait, the residents on the first floor didn't want to lose the sunshine, and the small shops on the street couldn't afford to be closed for a long time. Everyone has difficulties that must be heard. Zhou Yanchuan, who is in charge of the project, believes in drawings, construction schedules and safety boundaries, while Lin Zhiwei is accustomed to breaking disputes into problems and organizing chaos into lists. The two went from tit-for-tat to sharing responsibilities, and gradually built trust on leaky roofs, work stoppages, and basements in heavy rains. At the same time, Lin Zhiwei also had to face the years of estrangement from his father, as well as the past that had never been explained clearly after the death of his mother. In the past eight years, problems with elevators, parking, properties, shops and elderly care have arisen one after another. She originally just wanted to repair the walls, roads and pipelines in Wutong, but later she realized that what really needed to be repaired was the life that was separated between people, and that she would never be able to return to her former home. Some urban renewal begins with building a wall; some people's rebirth begins with knocking on a new door.
