After breaking up with her boyfriend of five years, Lin Xiaoman was accompanying her mother at their alleyway steamed dumpling stall when her mother suddenly fainted. Forcing herself to take over, she wrapped the “breakup filling”—the shiitake and vegetable flavor her ex used to love—into dumplings while crying. Unexpectedly, this pot of tearful dumplings was filmed by a food blogger, and the phrase “dumplings that make you think of your ex with one bite” went viral instantly. Netizens flocked from all over to check in, only to find a note from her mother in every box: “Xiaoman’s dumplings are mom’s hug hidden in the dough.” When a hundred-meter line formed in front of the stall, Xiaoman held the steamer and realized: those unspoken grievances had long been kneaded into new hope by her mother and the dumplings—and her life was just about to “boil.”
