An old, cluttered rural kitchen divided by a stained, peeling partition wall. The wall is covered with faded, curling newspapers filled with handwritten notes, shopping lists, and old promotional flyers. A Taiwanese man in an apron stands over a gas stove, flames flickering as he stirs a pan. The kitchen shelves hold mismatched dishes and worn utensils, while a wooden dining table is cluttered with food, scattered papers, and kitchenware. The dim space feels aged and disorganized, with dirt-streaked floors and a lingering sense of past use.
