share time: 2026-01-11 06:00:26

Lin Wanzhao, a lonely elderly tailor, has guarded "Chuntang Tailor Shop" at the alley mouth for thirty years. She refuses to sign the demolition agreement even as skyscrapers surround the alley—this is the "home" she shared with her late husband Zhou Chuntang, hiding his unfinished bridal gown and her unspoken "I do." Until Xiao Man, the left-behind child she once took in, returns with an old wooden box containing Zhou Chuntang's diaries written over half his life: "After I'm gone, let Wanzhao see the spring." When the yellowed pages are spread out and the unfinished gown is picked up again, Lin Wanzhao finally understands—she was never waiting for someone who wouldn't return, but for the courage to love again. This time, she'll sew a spring wedding dress for herself and turn the old tailor shop into an intangible cultural heritage workshop, letting the stitches of "Chuntang" weave into more people's stories.
