Xiao Lin grew up in a humble home in the old town, where her mother Li Guilan raised her by selling breakfast and collecting scrap, often mocked by neighbors as "a poor nest that can't raise a golden phoenix." Xiao Lin fought her way into a top finance university and became a gold-collar worker in an investment bank. But on her promotion banquet day, she received a hospital call—her mother was in the late stage of gastric cancer, and had hidden her high school scholarship passbook (never used, saving for her house down payment). She suddenly realized that the meaning of "flying out of the humble home" was never to prove to others, but to finally say to her mother: "This time, let me protect you." She quit her high-pressure job, returned to the old town, opened a breakfast shop named after her mother, renovated the shabby house into a warm apartment, and accompanied her mother in fighting the disease. When her mother smiled weakly and said, "Our Linlin has become a phoenix," Xiao Lin cried and replied: "No, Mom, you are my phoenix. It was you who protected me with your wings."
