Shuluotang is the name of a Chinese medicine massage shop, and it's where Lin Miao works.
The owner here, Shu Xingfa, suffers from a relatively rare hereditary disease, retinitis pigmentosa. He had night blindness early on, and as he ages, his vision becomes weaker, eventually leading to blindness.
When Shu Xingfa was young and diagnosed with his condition, upon realizing it was irreversible, he put great effort into learning Chinese medicine massage.
After twenty years of hard work, he, now already blind, became a masseur with some reputation, and he took on more than a dozen apprentices.
Lin Miao initially apprenticed largely due to her unfortunate background, along with the advocacy of some kind-hearted people.
After years of diligent and determined efforts, Lin Miao gained Shu Xingfa's approval, learned quite a bit of real skills, and acquired a separate massage room in Shuluotang.
