She is a gentle and tolerant orphan girl from the south of the Yangtze River, and he is a rebellious and affectionate battlefield boy.
Accompanying each other day and night for eight years, they made a life-and-death agreement, engraved in their bones and blood, and promised to stay together and never leave each other.
But the war was ruthless and they were suffering from terminal illness. In order not to drag each other down, the two chose the cruelest two-way concealment.
He broke his leg and became disabled, cruelly said that he didn't love her, and forced her to find another place to live;
She was terminally ill, so she quietly stopped taking medicine and devoted her life to making his dream come true.
A fatal time difference meant that the day he returned was seven days after her death.
From then on, he gave up his photography and writing books, never married, guarded an empty house, remembered a dead soul, and spent the rest of his forty-six years waiting for redemption.
They missed each other when they were alive and embraced each other when they died. They loved each other to the extreme and it hurt to the bone.
It turns out that the most cruel thing is never the separation between life and death, but that I love you with all my strength, and in the end, you don't know how much I love you.
