She suddenly realized that these cards were just pieces of paper, and their value was far inferior to her going to experience NCT's performance live and see her beloved idol in person. After the concert, Xiaomei's life changed a lot. She began to pay more attention to the balance between work and life, no longer obsessed with collecting small cards, but transformed that love into a love for life.
