The gulf in their family backgrounds and the impairment in his hand once formed the deepest invisible divide between Wang Jingjing and Zhang Feng.
On the day the college entrance exams ended, one acceptance letter sent her south to a coastal city, while another sent him north to the capital. The two teenagers, both full of joy, were pushed toward cities a thousand miles apart.
During their three years of college, the thick stack of train tickets they collected became the most faithful testament to their love. Every journey across mountains and seas bore witness to the intensity of their young romance. On the southern coast, they went barefoot collecting seashells, while the waves and sea breeze carried away countless shy whispers. Beneath the northern city’s red walls, they walked side by side, warm sunlight catching the upturned eaves and framing countless little moments together. Teasing from friends, long late-night phone calls, and brief reunions paid for with money saved from their living expenses made their long-distance love warm and enduring. They once believed that the certainty of their youthful love could withstand the passing years and overcome every obstacle in reality. Then, during their junior-year winter break, their families’ firm opposition and a few careless remarks from neighbors and relatives quietly shattered all their hopes for the future.
Years later, Wang Jingjing returns to her hometown with the decision to relocate her southern studio, and unexpectedly reunites with Zhang Feng. Peach blossoms still bloom across the hills year after year, as if waiting for the person who once promised to return. Can the painful past that reality tore apart, and the longing buried deep in their hearts that never faded, help these once-inseparable lovers weathered by time cross the mountains and seas at last and rekindle their romance?
