Story synopsis
Twenty-three-year-old Lin Shen alone accompanies his mother through long-term dialysis; medical expenses have already weighed on him to the point of being hard to bear, and rent reminders and the news of his fresh unemployment arrive one after another. He is used to comforting his mother with “there's enough money,” yet he can only shoulder the pressure alone. Old poetry collections, manuscripts, and family photos form the spiritual anchor he still refuses to give up amid his straitened life.
