[Two male protagonists + the Republic of China + pure love + sweethearts and sweethearts + light abuse]
Gentle Scholar Gong (Xiusheng) x Black-skinned Coolie Shou (Lin Yu)
Lin Yu and Cui Xiusheng are the poorest people in the lower-class area. One is carrying bags at the pier, and the other is writing letters on the street corner. They shared a bowl of porridge, hid an egg, learned to read in a leaky shack, and made an agreement under the starlight: leave here together, go to the provincial capital, and go to a place with light.
Life is as bitter as coptis, but when two people eat it, it tastes a little sweet.
They don't know that this world does not allow poor people to dream. Gang fights, gang pursuits, the tragic death of their little sister, the burning of their shacks - fate took away their hopes one by one, and in the end only each other was left. And a ferry ticket that I don't know if I can still catch.
This is not a story about revenge. They are two children in a world of cannibalism, desperately trying to survive, desperately trying to protect each other, and desperately trying to hold on to that little bit of light called "the future" that is about to go out.
It's a story about two people who are each other's stars in the darkness.
