"Signs of Age: Unsent Letters and Unfinished Piano"
Forty-five-year-old history professor Shen Weixi is trapped in a recurring dream: a mansion in the late Qing Dynasty, unfinished music, and endless waiting. The 28-year-old ancient book restorer Qian Tianxing came here with a hundred years of memories to smooth out the remnants of time with his repairing hands. When they met during the Dunhuang suicide note project, the deep familiarity in his eyes made her uneasy. A volume of musical scores and several unsent letters from the late Qing Dynasty reveal the tragic wish of a woman of the same name, "Weixi Jushi", who stayed with her for the rest of her life and never returned during the reign of Emperor Guangxu. When Shen Weixi discovered that the name he was waiting for was "Qian Tianxing", the cause and effect across time and space suddenly opened up. He is an old friend forgotten by time. He has been searching for her for seven lifetimes and finally meets her again in this life. During the time of repairing ancient books and memories, the two lives intertwined. They jointly faced the regrets of the past life and the vision of this life, and connected the broken chapters of emotion with the light of academics. The years are long, but waiting can transcend mountains and seas, so there will eventually be an echo in the pile of paper.
