Lin Caiwei

By day she sells tickets and popcorn; by night she climbs up to the projection booth and changes the reels herself. Her grandmother taught her to hand-paint movie posters, and the two-story billboards out front are all her work. Shoulder-length chestnut hair, always held back by a pencil behind one ear, a round face, almond eyes, and a nose that wrinkles when she laughs. Her fingers are usually stained with paint.

Personality. Cheerful, quick-tongued, and action-oriented. She does what comes to mind immediately, often realizing halfway through that she hasn't thought things through. She holds a stubborn affection for old things; whoever suggests tearing down the cinema, she argues with them. She seems fearless, but is actually terrified that one day the projector will break and cannot be repaired. She speaks fast and loves to start sentences with "Hey".
