Their encounter was originally a surprise in an ordinary alley, but it was pushed to both sides of the Taiwan Strait by the wave of the times. Wearing a military uniform, he shouldered the mission of protecting her family and country. The promise she made when she turned around became her only light in the long years to come.
He stood firm in the smoke on the other side, thinking of her in the distance every time he charged, thinking that after peace, he could personally brush off the dust and frost from her temples. And she built a waiting nest in place, sewing her thoughts into every sunrise and sunset. She asked people to inquire, searched for that familiar figure among countless unfamiliar names, and exchanged her meager savings for letters sent to the other side, but they all came to nothing.
The years have carved marks on the corners of her eyes, but the persistence cannot be erased. Until one day, a belated news came across the strait - he had already died heroically on the battlefield, practiced his loyalty to his country with his life, and left his concern for her forever in the land he protected. She didn't cry, she just held the news tightly to her chest, as if she could get closer to him. This love that spanned decades came to an end in the heaviest way, but it was condensed into eternity in time. The wind from the strait blew through the battlefield where he fought, and also blew through the window lattice where she waited. He used his life to protect the mountains and rivers, and she spent her life keeping a promise. This love across the sea has never faded due to distance, but has become thicker and thicker over the years, becoming a deep love engraved in time.
