In the early years of the Republic of China, the warlords were separatist, and there were many secrets hidden in Shanghai, which is ten miles away from home. In the Huihui Garden, Gu Tingchen and Xu Zhirou, unrelated brothers and sisters, spent a childhood full of laughter and laughter under the care of Xia He's mother. The chasing and playing in the garden... Became each other's most precious memories.
However, the return of his mother Song Lan broke the peace, and Gu Tingchen was forced to go to the West. Twelve years separated the two in troubled times. Eighteen years later, Xu Zhirou has become a teacher at the National Education School and an underground Communist Party member who protects the orphans of the revolution. She shouldered her responsibilities with tenacity in the storm; Gu Tingchen returned in military uniform and became a famous military officer in Shanghai.
The chance encounter on Anluo Street and the reunion at No. 123 Minzhu Road brought back dusty memories. They were childhood sweethearts in the past, but now they are struggling between the righteousness of their family and country and the love of their children due to their different positions. The yellowed seals, the uncooked chestnut cakes, and the nightmares in the middle of the night bear witness to their fate that has been shaped by the times. When affection meets faith, and when reunion encounters barriers, can this pair of duckweeds in troubled times break through the shackles of worldliness and attitude, and regain the warmth of the past? In the war and smoke of the Republic of China, a concern that spanned more than ten years was facing the most difficult choice.
Purpose: Xu Zhirou's revolutionary belief as an underground party member conflicts with his family affection for Gu Tingchen and his nostalgia for the past years. It shows the difficult balance between the self and the individual, family, country and individual, and highlights the perseverance of human nature in special times.
