This is not only a spy love legend, but also a requiem dedicated to all the "voiceless". They protect the bottom line of a nation in their own way.
In the autumn of 1937, Suzhou embroidery workshop was destroyed by war. Sixteen-year-old Su Wanyun fled to Shanghai with an ancestral thimble in her arms and opened a small clothing store "Yunshang" on Fourth Avenue in the Concession. She thought that all she could do in her life was flying needles and threads, but she didn't know that the threads in her hands were about to be woven into a silent smoke.
Lin Qing, a young section chief of the General Administration of Customs, codenamed "Blue Bird", is a two-faced man who walks among neon signs and ruins. When he opened the wooden door of "Yunshang" for custom-made suits, the two destinies began to intersect - his gun cocoon was hidden under the soft measuring tape, and her trembling secret message was buried in the lining of the cheongsam.
From the life-and-death relay on the Suzhou River to the spy scene at the Paramount Ball; from the silent transmission of embroidery codes to the leap by the Huangpu River. Su Wanyun used a needle as a gun and Lin Qing used his life as a boat to weave a dark web made of faith and blood on the isolated island of Shanghai.

Until one day when the morning light first appeared and the river was whimpering, someone saw Sujin and the suit sinking in each other's arms in the turbid waves, like two broken-winged bluebirds.
Many years later, the neon lights on the Bund are still there, and the label of a cheongsam in the museum reads: "Unknown weaver, circa 1940s." Only when sunlight penetrates the glass, four small double-sided embroidered characters faintly appear on the skirt -
The longitude and latitude are silent.
