Life is like an ever-flowing stream, running from the past into the present and certain to flow from the present into the future. That is why some people say that when you came into this world, someone was already waiting for you in the unseen, destined to take your hand and fulfill the unfinished bond between you.
Li Xiaoyu and Liang Hongbo were neighbors who grew up together. Childhood friends, they were as close as siblings.

When Li Xiaoyu pushed through the crowd and saw her beloved lying in a pool of blood, holding a large kite, she frantically gathered him into her arms. His eyes half-open, he signaled that she should send the kite up into the sky...
From then on, Li Xiaoyu spent every day consumed by thoughts of Liang Hongbo. Each year, on the anniversary of his death, she went to his grave to fly a kite, sending her longing to the man she loved.

Some said their marriage was impossible because of the vast difference in their social standing, but it really happened. In the end, however, Li Xiaoyu’s devotion was misplaced, and their story ended in separation...
