Restoring Beams and Painting Buildings

With one decisive bid, the historic Qiula Hall sells for a staggering four hundred million, becoming the focus of nationwide attention. To restore the building, battered by fires and earthquakes, two childhood friends who had fallen out return to Daolai Town, where they grew up.

Tan Ze, an architect, once supported Xu Chunlai’s dream of becoming a historic building restoration specialist. But after that disaster, he was also the one who firmly insisted that Xu Chunlai stop working on frontline construction sites.

“If some people are born to devote their whole lives to their work, and might even die on the job, then I hope I can live without regrets.”

“You won’t die. I’ll always have your back.”
