These are the richly embroidered napkins.

这些是绣花丰富的餐巾。

Each story has layers, from the mundane (embroidered napkins, liquorice drops, bus depots) to the sublime (a man touching a woman's waist, a look of recognition and encouragement, daydreams that wear themselves out with the passage of time).

每个故事都有层次，从平淡(刺绣的餐巾、甘草糖浆、公交站台)到升华(一个男人触碰了一个女人的腰，一个心领神会和鼓励的眼神，一些在时间的磋磨中而破灭的白日梦)。
