In a quiet town, carpenter Lao Wang's workshop was renovating its exterior walls. He chose beige carved metal panels, a color that resembled the warm yellow hue of the first wooden chair he made when he was young.
On the day the boards arrived, Lao Wang gently stroked the smooth surface, as if foreseeing the future of his workshop. During construction, sunlight shone warmly on the beige carved boards, and passing neighbors remarked that the color made the old workshop feel as if embraced by the sun.
Later, the workshop became a small tourist attraction in the town. Many people came to take pictures, saying that the beige walls carried the warmth of the craftsmen and also witnessed Lao Wang's love and persistence in carpentry. The metal carved panels were like a gentle mark in time, remaining in the memory of the town.
