Ming An, an old object restorer, has a secret she's kept for six years—every New Year's Eve, she receives anonymously sent old items marked by time: a faded cashmere scarf, a chipped plum-blossom porcelain bowl, a curled elementary school textbook... All these items carry the warmth of her childhood, yet she can never trace the sender. Until the sixth year, she receives a yellowed diary with her three-year-old photo inside; the first page bears messy handwriting: "Sui Sui, Dad is looking for you." It turns out her father, who lost his memory saving her from drowning a decade ago, has been "piecing together" his daughter's traces by sending old objects—he doesn't remember Ming An's face, but he remembers to keep all of "Sui Sui's" childhood things. When Ming An stands before her father holding the restored scarf, the man touches the little bear patch on the scarf and suddenly tears up: "I knitted this for Sui Sui. She was afraid of the dark and would only sleep wrapped in this scarf..." A ten-year "old object search plan" uncovers a father's clumsiest yet most passionate longing.
