Teahouse and apartment
Li Zhaowei works as a counter clerk at a teahouse run by his childhood friend, and rents a small apartment managed by a Japanese-Taiwanese-Japanese female landlord together with his younger brother. A mysterious girl from mainland who is passionate about glove puppetry also enters his life. The teahouse, apartment, and the interactions of characters form the daily starting point of the story.
Relationships among people in historical contexts
The work uses postwar regime change and the February 28 Incident as its backdrop, depicting the clash between different languages, cultural experiences, and life stances. Romantic relationships and relationships with family and friends will be under pressure as circumstances change. The characters are fictional, and the plot tells the life of this period through their perspective, not a direct documentary of every historical event.
Games and spin-offs
The Steam version was released in March 2015, with separately purchased audio content for the radio drama. The work was later adapted into a musical, and the 2022 performance introduction still centered on the relationships between the teahouse owner Zhang Xiaoyu, landlord Lin Minghua, and Chen Yu. Stage actors and adaptations should be recorded separately from the game's voice actors and routes.
Teahouses, tenants, and relatives
Due to the war, Li Zhaowei stopped studying medicine in Japan. After returning to Taiwan, he ran a Lingang Teahouse under the care of Zhang Xiaoyu's father. Xiaoyu and the Li brothers have known each other since childhood; Li Yuande is Zhaowei's younger brother; Wang Taiji beside the three also served as the teahouse chief and apprentice. Zhaowei, Yuande, and Taiji live together at Minghua Manor. After landlord Lin Minghua's father returns to Japan, he entrusts his daughter to Uncle Yuan's care.
Senior Sister and Postwar Visitors
Xie Jiyun is Zhaowei's senior in high school, often guiding him with half-sentence hints; Chen Yu calls himself a freelance writer, came to Taiwan after the war to study material, and enjoys Quanzhou glove puppetry. They form the main daily circle through interactions with teahouses and tenants.
Radio dramas and character song albums
The first radio drama was released on December 13, 2014, featuring fifty years of time travel, Li Yuande's perspective, and the Lingang Tea Party. The character song EP "Rain Falls on Tumi" also includes three songs by Xiaoyu, Minghua, and Chen Yu, as well as karaoke versions, performed by Lei Biwen, Lin Meixiu, and Fu Qihui respectively; Waiting co-produced the album with DeathscytheX.
withholding tea and levying taxes
In 1947, Lingang Teahouse faced increased revenue sharing and tea confiscation. The local chief's deputy, Xiaotang, even demanded tea purchases below market price, and only after Chen Yu stepped in did the conflict subside. Minghua Village was also notified of its expropriation. To save money by redeeming the property in the future, Minghua refused to seek medical treatment when he had a fever. The crisis of the teahouse's livelihood and residence draws Zhaowei, Xiaoyu, Minghua, and Chen Yu into the same negotiation.
Chen Yuxian: Grain Food, Puppet Theater, and Father
Chen Yu is the daughter of local official Chen Feng. She took rice from the army to help the teahouse and protected Xiaoyu when hungry people were looting Gangxi Street. The process of finding a glove puppet master also led her to compete with the boss of Cheng Yitang, letting go of the bias of judging skills based on birthplace. She used public funds to purchase Minghua Estate to prevent expropriation, which instead led to Zhaowei's detention; Zhaowei then confronted Chen Feng face-to-face to seek recognition for their relationship.
Xiaoyu Route: The paper crane and the fear of losing family
Xiaoyu was frail as a child; her mother was tricked into taking a so-called spiritual medicine and died from poisoning. Origami cranes carry both prayers for the recovery of loved ones and fear of loss. In her personal storyline, she still holds the teahouse under military pressure; After being assaulted, they fell into guilt again. Zhaowei's response shifted their long-avoided relationship from mutual commitment.
Minghua Line: Painting and Protecting Minghua Manor
Ming Hua makes a living painting in a coffee shop and considers those still living in Ming Hua Manor as family. Zhaowei helped the tea shop smuggle tea leaves, handed over the proceeds to Xie Jiyun to handle price issues, published editorials, assisted Chen Yu in writing glove puppet theater scripts, and mobilized residents to protect Minghua Manor. Facing the crowds and soldiers gathered during the requisition, she still tried to help the injured.
The port divergence after the character route
After three character arcs, the story continues to reveal Xie Jiyun's assassination of Chen Feng, martial law, and military-civilian negotiations. Whether Zhaowei spoke with the messenger would determine whether he could learn in advance that the army had landed at the port. Once he received the news in time, he could, with Xie Jiyun's help, arrange for everyone to escape; Concealing the escape route from Yuande was another condition for the others to be rescued.
