Story - summarized
It’s almost New Year’s, and Qin Yi is celebrating with other actors at a show. The host then asks Yi what his wish is for the New Year.
He doesn’t answer. Instead, he remembers how forgotten and lonely he was as a child and how he had to fend for himself. His only companion was a little deer in the park. He would talk to it and eat some of its food.
He was so desperate for something good in his life that he asked the deer to grant his wish: to have new clothes for the New Year. The next day, the child encountered Nian Song, a famous and skilled designer. He had a bag of clothes with him, and they were the right size for Qin Yi. So, he gave them to him and offered to make more.
That night, the boy returned to the park, daring to make another wish. He wished for vengeance on his bullies, for his mother to return home, to never go hungry again...
But the next morning, his mother was still gone. He was still beat up by adults. And he was still cold and hungry.
He realized that he had to work to make any change in his life. For the last time, he went to the park and bid the fawn farewell. He pat the deer one last time on the head, and then he left the slums.
It’s been many years since then, and the park is now a permanent Deer Park. After the show is over, Qin Yi slips into the park. There are many deer now, but none of them is the fawn. Out of nostalgia, or maybe a sense of loneliness, he finds the same nuts he would eat with the fawn, and he eats one.
Connections
-Luming is the deer that Qin Yi befriended as a child. It was Luming’s wish to see him again and receive a pat on the head.
-Nian Song is the designer that you and Nikki meet during the CNY 2022 event. He’s worried that he’s lost his touch as a designer when no one likes his style or wants to buy his clothes, but Qin Yi comes and buys all the suits. He never forgot Master Nian, as he was the one who inspired Yi to become a designer.
