On the day of the Spring Equinox, Shen Weizhi left.
Ji Chunming has since developed a habit: every spring equinox, he goes to the flower market to buy a pot of gardenia - it is the only plant Shen Weizhi has ever raised. In seven years, he has not fed a single pot. The old flower seller asked: "Who are these flowers for?" He smiled and replied: "For someone who will never come back."
On the spring equinox of the seventh year, a young man named Silence appeared in his gardening shop. He is Shen Wei Zhi's half-brother, and he brought Shen Wei Zhi's relics - eighteen letters, written in the last six months of Shen Wei Zhi's life.
The beginning of each letter is: "Ji Chunming, survive this spring for me."
As the letters unfolded page by page, Ji Chunming finally knew that the person who turned away seven years ago after saying "we are not suitable" had never stopped loving him. He just loved her so much that he would rather die outside alone than let Ji Chunming watch him wither away.
"I've seen the photos you took. There are all living things in your lens. I don't want your last memory to be that of me as a patient."
But what Shen Weizhi didn't know was that for those left behind, spring without him would not be spring at all.
