The 6:30 ferry is the longest confession in Hong Kong.
Central lawyer Gu Huaizhou and Temple Street antique shop owner Shen Wang meet in the upper cabin of the Star Ferry at seven o'clock every night.
Gu Huaizhou's boat came from Tsim Sha Tsui, and Shen Wang's boat came from Zhonghuan. The lights of Victoria Harbor flowed between them, and the fifteen-minute flight was their tacit understanding - not to talk, not to look at each other, only three rows of seats apart, looking at the same sea.
This silent "crossing together" lasted for three hundred days.
Until one rainy night, the ferry stopped sailing due to malfunction. Under the eaves of the dock sheltering from the rain, Shen Wang spoke for the first time: "Do you know that I have been on this boat for ten more years?"
It turns out that their story started earlier.
Ten years ago, as a college student, Gu Huaizhou once blocked a runaway suitcase for a teenager playing guitar on a ferry. That young man is Shen Wang, and Gu Huaizhou is the only light that he remembers but dare not pursue in his dark youth.
For ten years, Shen Wang guarded the dilapidated antique shop left behind by his father, polishing its edges in the smoke and smoke of Temple Street; Gu Huaizhou gradually became an elite lawyer, honing his skills behind the glass curtain wall in Central. They live in parallel Hong Kong, one above the neon lights and the other below the neon lights.
The reunion was not accidental, it was a "just coincidence" that Shen Wang spent ten years and finally gathered up the courage to create.
But when the two finally looked through the night of Victoria Harbor side by side, the shadows of the past came with the waves - the mysterious death of Shen Wang's father, a cross-border antique smuggling case being handled by Gu Huaizhou Law Firm, and the eyes that were always watching deep in Temple Street...
It turns out that the ferry carries not only the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also the secrets and sincerity buried by time.
"If all the lights in Victoria Harbor go out one day," Shen Wang asked on Victoria Peak late at night, "will you still recognize me?"
Gu Huaizhou pointed to the starry city below him: "Then let's be the first two lights to light up."
Concept: Between the flowing city and the changing sea, love is the only eternal coordinate.
