Century-Old Mansion: My Urban Paradise Life

At 28, Lin Moyan hit rock bottom in the city. After working 996 at a big tech company until he got a stomach ulcer, he was laid off. His girlfriend of five years left him for being poor and homeless. With zero savings and an expired lease, he had nowhere to go. At his lowest, a lawyer's call brought him an inheritance from his grandfather—a century-old mansion with two courtyards in an old alley of Suzhou. He quit the rat race, moved in, and renovated the courtyard. When the lost 'Drunk Spring Smoke' peonies bloomed, stunning the floral world; when his restored antiques told touching human stories; when he shared his daily life online, he became a viral sensation, a 'urban paradise' dreamt of by millions.
