The lighthouse by the sea lights up every night, as if igniting hope for the ships lost in the vast ocean. But to A Shu, a scavenger, the lighthouse is merely a backdrop to his life. Every day, he picks up drifted debris on the beach to trade for a meager living. His world is quiet yet fragmented. One morning, A Shu stumbled upon a peculiar piece of driftwood—a cracked glass bottle. Inside was a damp note with faint writing that read: "If you’re reading this, believe me, the world won’t always be so cold to you." A Shu tucked the note into the only book he owned, thinking little of it. Yet, from that day on, the lighthouse's light seemed a little warmer to him. One rainy evening, he found a miniature wooden ship washed ashore, its stern engraved with the words “Never Sinks.” A Shu placed it on his window, smiling faintly. Days passed like the ebb and flow of waves, and A Shu's small home gradually filled with more “extraordinary” drifted items—a perfectly intact compass, a mirror etched with a smiling face, and an old book about adventures. Each seemed to whisper a message of hope. Then, one sunny morning, A Shu noticed a new figure on the beach—a boy in a tattered coat struggling to drag a wooden crate. A Shu approached and helped him open it, revealing a trove of drifted items and tools. The boy smiled and said, “I found all these, hoping they’d make someone happy.” A Shu was stunned. He realized those “gifts of hope” weren’t mere coincidences but had been quietly sent by someone. From that day on, the scavenger under the lighthouse no longer collected mere debris but stories and hope. He used the wood he found to repair neighbors’ fishing boats, handed small mirrors to children to reflect their smiling faces, and transformed the lighthouse's clearing into a small "Driftwood Museum."
