Biluochun at the teahouse in late spring, rice cakes amid the smoke of war in Republican-era China, and a bicycle beneath the warm sun of New China: these bind Wan Youzhu and Sun Fu through three lifetimes. In their first two lives, class divisions and war kept them apart, leaving only regret. In their third, they finally cast off their chains and hold hands as they watch the sunset, turning all they missed in their past lives into a hard-won, happy ending.
