归省

On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ting, who had married and moved to Tokyo, returned to her homeland for the first time since her wedding—without her husband by her side. Having not seen her for years, her father still held a grudge over her marrying without letting them know, while her mother's detailed nagging carried a heavy weight on her mind. Even her reunion with close friends felt subtly distant, and Ting could not help but feel a lingering melancholic sense of alienation. Yet over the course of just a few days, wandering through her hometown while carrying her unborn child, she realized that there are countless forms of affection, each interpreted in every person's own way. Ting quietly pondered the true meaning of her homecoming, drawing the strength needed to carry on living in a foreign land.
