Lin Mo, a luthier who was born aphasic, regards the seven strings as his only language. His greatest wish in this life is not wealth and love, but to have someone who can truly understand his silent cry.
The mysterious woman Su Wanqing, who escaped from the big city, shines into his dead world like a ray of light. She used poetic language to "understand" all the loneliness and sadness in his music, and became his only soulmate.
In order to protect this "understanding", he was willing to sell his soul and turn elegant art into a sideshow to make a living in a noisy teahouse. He thought he was protecting love, but he didn't know that this thrilling encounter was based on a beautiful lie about "understanding" from the beginning.
When the lie was exposed, the sound of the piano sank to the bottom of the river, and his life was reduced to ruins. He exiled himself to an empty mountain, staying with vegetation. It was not until fifteen years later that a strange daughter with his blood arrived, and a new sprout called "hope" was replanted in his dead ashes.
This is a tragic song about expression and misunderstanding, sacrifice and redemption. When a person spends his whole life searching for the only soulmate, he finally discovers that true understanding may be the moment when he puts down the strings in the silent company.
