Everyone in the industry knows that the poker-faced supermodel Gong Yan wears a strand of Buddhist prayer beads at all times. Then one day, sharp-eyed observers noticed the beads on director Yi Shuihan's wrist.
He made no attempt to hide it and replied as if it were only natural, “My wife asked me to look after them. Got a problem with that?”
How can anyone describe Yi Shuihan's grand yet quiet love for her?
It was like a snowfall. He longed to watch it with her, lingering outside her door for a long time. Then, caught off guard, he did not even dare hesitate, let alone speak. The words “It's snowing” never made it past his lips. They fluttered lightly through his heart, then settled there with the weight of a thousand pounds, remaining with him for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, he waited for a love that would never fade.
And Gong Yan made sure it lasted.
Gong Yan: “I’m not afraid of being alone. I just sometimes wonder if there might be someone who can see the fire deep inside me, and let me lean on him when I’m shrouded in darkness. Then I wouldn’t have to face the unfathomable journey of life alone. I could finally feel at peace, and let myself fall apart.”
Many years later, she had Yi Shuihan.
