Visual:
The same elderly Shanghainese man (use the uploaded photo as strict reference) sits at a sunlit table.
The white enamel mug with red characters “先进工作者” is steadily placed on the table.
The man’s hand (only the hand and forearm are visible) holds a spoon and is gently stirring the deep grey, coarse-textured sesame walnut mixture inside the mug.
After a few stirs, he puts the spoon aside (out of frame).
He then leans forward slightly, bringing his face closer to the mug.
He closes his eyes and takes a slow, deliberate breath, inhaling the aroma rising from the mixture.
A natural, contented, and familiar smile appears on his face as he smells it.
Action control:
All actions are slow, deliberate, and authentic.
The stirring is relaxed.
The act of smelling is the focus—it’s a moment of quiet appreciation, not a performance.
The mug remains fixed on the table at all times.
Character & Dialogue:
The old man speaks one line softly to himself in Shanghainese dialect: “嗯，格个味道，正正宗宗。”
(This is audio only. There must be NO subtitles, captions, or any on-screen text of any language.)
Constraints:
No floating objects. The mug is firmly on the table.
No other people in frame.
No subtitles or on-screen text.
Maintain visual continuity (mug, mixture texture, lighting).
Lighting:
Warm, soft morning light from a window, illuminating his face, the steam, and the texture of the mixture.
Creates a warm, trustworthy, and nostalgic atmosphere.
Shallow depth of field to focus on his expression and the mug.
Sound:
Primary sound is the old man’s spoken line in Shanghainese: “嗯，格个味道，正正宗宗。”
Secondary sound: the gentle clink of the spoon against the mug during stirring, then fading out.
Faint ambient radio broadcast in Shanghainese in the background.
No music.
Mood:
Authentic, comforting, familiar, and satisfied. A simple, genuine moment of daily ritual.
