See the Light in His Palm

After her startup collapsed and her boyfriend ran off with her savings, Lin Xia locked herself away in her rental flat, too ashamed to even turn on the lights. Every night, she’d peek through the window and see Chen Yu, who ran a handmade lantern stall downstairs, waving a warm yellow lantern towards her window. One rainy night, Lin Xia got locked out and huddled under the eave, soaking wet. Chen Yu came over with an umbrella and held out a warm lantern cupped in his palm. The gentle light lit up the rainy street and her dark heart, and this encounter would eventually become the salvation for both of them to step out of the darkness.
