Return of the South Wind

The day the design studio in Shenzhen disbanded, Lin Zhiqiu was sent back to Nangang. The apartment at No. 17 Linjiang Road was damp: the walls were sweating, the north window leaked wind, and her mother's memory was getting worse by the day. She had only planned to stay until the end of the month before returning to Shenzhen, but in the construction notebook her father left behind, she discovered another account—this apartment, registered under her father's name, had actually been paid for bit by bit with her mother's dowry money. Her younger brother wanted to sell the apartment and split the money, her mother refused to talk about her illness, and her escape route back to Shenzhen was collapsing day by day. The return of the south wind had not yet passed; she had to seal the leaking window, cure the moldy walls, and also give an answer to the question of whose apartment this really was. A story about a house, a mother, and whether staying behind counts as failure. [Creative Note] This work is AI-assisted creation and contains AI-generated or AI-assisted content.
