Introduction to "Gardenias in Midsummer"
In the "Zhixia Flower Shop" in the old alley of Jiangnan, Lin Zhixia lives an ordinary but stable life guarding a pot of gardenias that he saved with his own hands. Until the appearance of Shen Qingci, a student from the Academy of Fine Arts, broke the tranquility - he was attracted by the stubborn pot of gardenias, and was even more moved by the gentle and focused appearance of the flower shop owner. He gradually walked into Lin Zhixia's life on the pretext of sketching.
The bubbles of ice-cold Coke, the mung bean soup in the morning, the promise of a sea of gardenias, and the longing for a home with a yard. In the aroma of midsummer, the two teenagers turned their heartbeats into sweet daily routines, and even the air was filled with tenderness. But when Shen Qingci's coughs became more and more frequent, the "late stage lung cancer" on the physical examination sheet was like a thunderous explosion, and the beauty collapsed.
The smell of disinfectant in the chemotherapy room overwhelms the fragrance of gardenia, and the promise once made became a luxury. Shen Qingci tried his best to leave memories at the end of his life. After he left, Lin Zhixia guarded the gardenias in the courtyard and spent the rest of his life fulfilling the promise of "looking at the gardenias together every midsummer", letting love stay forever between the blooming and fading flowers.
Intention: Use gardenia to connect encounters and longings, and express the warmth, regret and eternity in love.
