[Two male protagonists + sadomasochism in the Republic of China + BE aesthetics + actor × son + double death ending]
We met at the age of five, reunited at the age of twenty-three, and ended up together at the age of thirty-four.
Gu Xizhou returned from studying in Japan and was forced to get married by his family. He was trapped in the family's ethics.
Shen Nanfeng is the number one actor in Jinling. He is famous on stage but as humble as dust off stage.
He thought they first met in the rain lane of Suzhou——
He handed him a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and he took off his coat and put it on his shoulders.
He doesn't remember.
But he remembered. For four years, he kept one coat.
When we met again, he was a young man from an aristocratic family, and he was an opera actor.
The secular world scolded him for "contempting the main actor", and the family scolded him for "disgracing the lintel of the family".
They say: An actor is ruthless, a prince has no heart.
But no one knows——
He sang "The Palace of Eternal Life" for him on the stage all night,
He climbed over the wall and left the house, waiting under the pear tree for his whole life.
Gunshots were fired at Marco Polo Bridge, and the city of Jinling was destroyed.
Some people say that every year when the pear blossoms bloom,
Two people can be seen standing side by side on the west wind slope.
One is wearing a gown and the other is wearing a costume.
Wherever the wind blows, pear blossoms are like snow, and there is no separation.
