Reverse-Time Father and Daughter: The Light in the Crack

Reverse-Time Father and Daughter: The Light in the Crack Plot:

Old watchmaker Zhou Dehai has been estranged from his daughter Zhou Tang for three years—all because he missed his wife's last moments to repair a client's antique clock. One day, he finds an old watch in the attic inscribed with: "Clock of Reversal—turn back time, but each day in the past costs a day of your life." Zhou twists the hands without hesitation: returning to hold his wife and daughter before her death, rushing to protect little Tang from bullies at school, standing at her graduation with a bouquet of flowers… Yet Tang still cold-shoulders him—for she’s always believed "Dad loves watches more than us." When the clock’s hands reach their final tick, Zhou lies in the hospital, and Tang discovers his diary hidden in a pocket watch: "Today Tang called me 'Dad'—I made a tiny copper clock with her name… Today Tang cried—I wanted to hug her but feared she’d think I’m useless…" Rushing into the ward, Tang hears Zhou whisper weakly, "Tang, I love you." Just then, sunlight streams through the ward’s crack, landing on their clasped hands and the tiny copper clock Zhou made for her decades ago.
