On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1948, deserter Li Shouyi picked up a baby girl at the Wangchuan River Ferry. A piece of cloth embroidered with plum blossoms fell out of her swaddling clothes - exactly the same as the craftsmanship of his sweetheart Shen Qing. He looked up to the other side, and saw a figure in the fog kneeling and kowtowing, raising his hand with the missing ring finger and waving to him. He called her name, but no one answered. The fog cleared and there was no one on the other side.
He didn't know - Shen Qing just lay down in the reeds and watched him get on the boat. Her throat was damaged by the shell and she couldn't scream. This wait is sixty years.
She spread the groceries across the river and watched him raise his children, watch him marry someone else, watch his son marry his daughter, and watch his granddaughter be born and grow up. She made twelve sets of small clothes and secretly placed them at the door. She hid her medical records in the crevices of the rocks by the river, waiting to be discovered one day.
In 2012, documentary director Li Nian returned to his hometown to make a film. He dug out a tin box from the ruins of his old house and found a medical record that had been soaked in water at a flea market. The first page reads: "Baby Su Hui, rescued on August 15, 1948, biological mother Shen Qing."
Su Hui is her mother's name.
The secrets that had been hidden for sixty years began to surface one by one. It turns out that there is a person who has watched them all his life on the other side.
