故事发生在一个我经常造访的院子里（晚清政客龚自珍故居），这里的居民因为北京申请中轴线非物质文化遗产而被腾退搬离，只剩下荒草和残垣。一天晚上，一位熟悉这里的向导带我游逛了一圈，并和我讲述了曾经发生在这里的故事。故事中的人物之间关系错综复杂，那些爱恨情如漂浮的尘埃，伴随着蓝色的月光缓缓的降临在了这片他们生活过，以及为了更好的生活挣扎过的院子里。这些故事让我着迷，好像它们都或多或少曾发生在我周围。

The story takes place in a courtyard that I often visit (the former residence of Gong Zizhen, a politician of the late Qing Dynasty). Since Beijing applied for the intangible cultural heritage along the central axis, the residents were moved out and relocated leaving only wild weeds and ruins. One evening, a guide who knew the area well took me on a tour and told me some stories that had happened here. The relationships between the characters were intricate. The love-hate relationships were like floating dust, slowly descending this courtyard in the blue moonlight, where they had lived and struggled for a better life. These stories fascinated me as if they had all happened to me in one way or another.
