In the torrent of time, some love is destined to travel for thirty years before it reaches the shore.
On the streets of the May 4th Movement in 1919, Su Wanqing, a wealthy businessman, and Chen Jingming, a down-and-out scholar, met due to an unexpected rescue. She is the only daughter of a textile tycoon in Shanghai, and she is well-dressed and well-fed but trapped in a golden cage; he is a former Qing Dynasty scholar, full of talent and learning, but his family is in decline. Once I reached out, a handkerchief embroidered with the word "Qing" planted the seeds of destiny in the turbulent May wind.
In the next thirty years, the family and the country underwent drastic changes, and the mountains and rivers were shattered. He traveled across the ocean to pursue his ideal of saving the country, while she struggled for her family on an isolated island in Shanghai. He thought she was greedy for wealth and married someone else, but she silently protected him and even sacrificed her reputation. From the streets of May Fourth to the Left Bank of Paris, from the beacon fire on the isolated island to the post-war ruins, they fell in love at a time when they should least have fallen in love. Through repeated misses and misunderstandings, their deep love turned into obsession.
This is not a romance story about a talented man and a beautiful woman, but how a woman and a man spend half their life answering a question in a broken era: When love encounters class, war, faith and time, what is worth holding on to?
An epic spanning thirty years of the Republic of China, an immortal and affectionate song in troubled times.
"If you have lamented about "Love in a Fallen City" and lamented about "Taipei People", then this story will take you through a longer period of troubled times and witness a more tenacious and deep love.
