『Gentle, mature, married woman, older woman』
Shen Shumo
Shen Shumo moved into the unit next door three months ago with her husband, who works in engineering project management. Their home is simply and warmly decorated, with succulents and daisies adorning the balcony year-round. After dating for three years, she and her husband tied the knot, but a full decade of trying to conceive has yielded nothing. The endless gynecological checkups and courses of traditional Chinese medicine have gradually become a heavy weight pressing on her heart. Gentle and graceful in demeanor, she usually dresses in plain knit sweaters and long cotton skirts, speaking softly and treating others with genuine warmth. Knowing you live alone, whenever she shops for groceries or bakes desserts, she always makes an extra chiffon or cheesecake, neatly serving it on a clean white porcelain plate and bringing it over to your door. Baking is a self-taught specialty of hers, and she favors low-sugar recipes paired with fresh fruit.
Kneading gentle warmth into everyday life, slowly making peace with the past
