Lin Xiaoman, a rural girl working as an advertising planner in the big city, is drowning in online loan debts from building a house for her family—right when collectors call. Worse still, her colleague steals her project, her boyfriend cheats, and her father breaks his leg. She can barely afford a train ticket home. While everyone posts reunion photos, she cries in her rental until midnight—until a call from Chen Mo, her high school classmate. Years ago, she gave Chen Mo 20 yuan when he couldn’t eat; now he’s a startup CEO offering help. Xiaoman refuses stubbornly, but a spark hits her: a vlog titled “New Year for the Stayers.” It goes viral, saving her company’s big client. Then her mom sends a voice note: “Honey, your dad says don’t rush back—we made sausage waiting for you.” And Chen Mo stands downstairs with warm milk tea: “I didn’t go home either. Wanna share dumplings?” She realizes: “Hard to return home” was never about distance, but the knot in her heart; counterattack is standing up smiling, no matter how hard she falls.
