Wanqing Yingxue

In Shanghai during the Republic of China, Gu Wanqing, a daughter of a wealthy family, has bright eyes and bright teeth, but is rebellious and stubborn. She rejects family marriage and yearns for freedom. Su Yingxue, a poor girl, joins a newspaper through hard work and goes deep into the front lines as a reporter, vowing to expose the darkness of society. Once on the street, Gu Wanqing witnessed Su Yingxue being chased by policemen for reporting on a factory strike. She admired her and hid her in the carriage. The brief exchange in the small space made the two people like each other - Gu Wanqing was attracted by Su Yingxue's independence and justice, and Su Yingxue also admired Gu Wanqing's kindness and courage. After that, Gu Wanqing approached Su Yingxue as a reader, and their friendship gradually deepened, from appreciation to love. However, homosexuality was not tolerated in the feudal era. Gu Wanqing's family was furious and put her under house arrest. Su Yingxue did not back down. She used her identity as a journalist to publish an article on women's freedom to attract the attention of progressives, and even secretly contacted underground organizations to try to rescue her. A large-scale patriotic movement broke out in Shanghai. Gu Wanqing escaped while the guards were lax, reunited with Su Yingxue, who had joined the movement, and fell in love. In the end, with the help of progressive forces and underground organizations, Gu Wanqing broke away from her family, and the two left Shanghai hand in hand to open a bookstore in an open city. They not only made a living, but also continued to speak out for women's equality and stayed together throughout their lives.
