Su Wan drifted in Beijing for five years, living like an "invisible person": her boyfriend cheated on her with a rich girl, leaving her with the taunt, "The north wind is more promising than you"; her boss stole her proposal, sneering, "A country girl knows nothing about urban aesthetics." Until she sorted through her mother's relics and found a notebook filled with old Beijing hutong stories—her mother's unfinished "Hutong Memory" cultural and creative project. With her last glimmer of hope, she set up a stall, using hand-made bookmarks to recreate old teacups and door piers from the hutongs. Unexpectedly, it went viral on social media, and she even received an invitation to cooperate with the community on the "Old City Renewal" project. When she stood at the opening ceremony of the "Hutong Memory" cultural and creative exhibition, her ex-boyfriend came with the rich girl to curry favor, her former boss begged her to help, and Lin Chuan, the neighbor who had been helping her with the stall, held up the hutong sketch she drew years ago and said, "The door pier you drew is more dazzling than any luxury." Su Wan finally understood that the meaning of her journey north was to carry her mother's hutong memories and become her own light.
