Gu Yun is the "perfect teacher" in the eyes of others, gentle, responsible and always sunny. He devoted all his energy to his students, but no one knew the fatigue and emptiness in his heart, like a lamp that was about to run out, existing only to illuminate others.
Shen Yu is a freelance painter huddled in his own world, lonely, silent and isolated from the world. A heavy blow caused him to lose trust in the outside world. He only used his paintbrush to build a high wall, like a wounded animal, refusing to come anywhere near.
A commission for a campus mural made two parallel lines unexpectedly intersect. Gu Yun knocked on Shen Yu's door with a professional smile, and was greeted by the strong smell of paint and cold silence. Shen Yu looked at this seemingly invulnerable "sun" with vigilance, but at a glance he could see through the weariness hidden under his perfect mask.
One is not good at expressing, the other is used to hiding.
One uses color to vent the pain that no one can tell, and the other uses a smile to cover up the scars that no one notices.
In that room filled with paintings, messy but full of life, they awkwardly began to approach. Gu Yun discovered for the first time that someone did not need him to "play" perfection; Shen Yu tried for the first time and allowed someone to walk into his wall.
This is a story about two "patients" healing each other. When a tired lighthouse meets a silent island, can they become each other's light, illuminate the way forward, get out of the haze of the past, and jointly draw a truly hopeful future?
"Painting Light and Chasing Shadows" - To all lonely souls who long to be seen and accepted.
Intention: I hope that everyone will no longer be lonely and have no darkness.
