Story summary

Gu Qing gains a sponsorship opportunity for a weekend exhibition on the condition that a series of photographs about ordinary labor be altered into a more readily shareable inspirational narrative; she and Cheng Yuan discuss the matter repeatedly. She decides to preserve the complex experiences acknowledged by the subjects themselves, reducing the scale of the exhibition layout to balance the budget. Cheng Yuan helps find a more fitting display method, ultimately leaving the exhibition with one less large wall, yet preventing the people in the images from being forced to bear a success story unlike their own.
