"Why bother?

创作阐述

The post-pandemic era and the overall economic downturn in recent years have left many people with a sense of exhaustion and anxiety, so I wanted to write a story about how books and libraries can heal people. In the library, I met a "bibliophile" who had been working in the editorial department for 20 years, and whose life was extremely simple and self-contained, like a "black hole," which gave people a sense of simplicity and depth at the same time. When you get to know him better, you are touched by his strengths that we have long lost. I have torn a hole in my story, empathized with him, felt his inner strength and power, and soothed and healed our inner anxieties.

故事大纲

The autistic and socially awkward bookworm librarian He Bi, a book repairer, suffers from eye disease and is nearly blind. In order to keep his job in the library, he intends to conceal his intention and become a "blind librarian". The plan is broken by Pei Jia, a female cook of Hunan cuisine restaurant, who is a fierce tigress and borrower of books, and the two of them clash with each other in a series of accidents and storms, while the real reason for Pei Jia's trouble is to take care of the paraplegic but well-read woman who is a "slum Hawking". The real reason for Pei Jia's trouble is to take care of his paraplegic but well-read brother Pei Jun, who is known as "Slum Hawking". Pei Jun's and the disadvantaged group's "special wish" for the library's precious antiquities collection touches He Bi, who intends to help them out of his own strength. In doing so, He Bi is forced to challenge the traditional institutions of the library world; to face his "control freak" father and his precarious eyes, whom he originally intended to keep at bay. It was a "big deal" that led to a mass conflict that touched many people. ...... This is a heartwarming comedy about a nearly blind autistic book repairman who faces social conflicts, family conflicts, helps the underprivileged, and finds an emotional home.
