"South Wind" is an affectionate fable about contemporary women's "difficulty in settling down" and self-redemption.
Yu Weiwei, a girl from a small town in southwest China, has had her life shaped by two "south winds": one is the southern seaside, which geographically symbolizes freedom, and the other is a man named Jiang Zhinan - he is the person she has looked up to throughout her youth and the embodiment of order and ideals. She traveled to England as she wished, tempering herself to perfection, and then accepted Zhan Lang's proposal, building a warm but suffocating nest.
When she was increasingly haggard in the triviality of marriage and spiritual loneliness, Jiang Zhinan, who was already a man of the hour, appeared again. Old dreams and reality return harshly, and the ultimate problem of "choice" comes whistling, enveloping all the emotions.
This is not only the emotional entanglement of three people, but also the collective dilemma of a generation of women: when perfection is unavailable, are we trapped in the ruins of regret, or are we trying to piece together our own integrity from the brokenness? The final answer given by the story emphasizes that "choice" itself means loss, and freedom and ease are a higher level of practice than perfection.
Purpose: To explore the eternal pull between "possibility" and "reality" of modern women.
