Waiting for the Crane's Call at Hanzhi Plot:

Lin Xiaoman runs "Hanzhi" Secondhand Bookstore to fulfill her grandmother's last wish: "When the locust trees bloom, the crane will come for the appointment." On the Waking of Insects, Gu Yan, a man in a dark blue windbreaker, appears with half a crane-shaped jade pendant, saying he's looking for his father who went missing a decade ago—the only clue his father left is "Waiting for the crane's call at Hanzhi." As they rummage through old items and decode grandma's diary, they discover Gu Yan's father is exactly the person grandma waited for her whole life! The "Crane's Call Letter" Gu Yan seeks is a farewell letter his father wrote to his mother, but grandma hid it—she feared her daughter would waste her life waiting like she did. However, when Gu Yan shows grandma his father's final video and grandma takes out the letter from the bottom of her chest, Xiaoman realizes: Gu Yan knew she was his mother's niece all along. He came to Hanzhi not for the letter, but to deliver his father's belated "I'm back"—fifty years late. Just then, locust flowers fall from the old tree, landing on grandma's wrinkled hands, like the crane that once perched on the branch.
