This is a soulful story about waiting, missing, dedication and ultimate healing. It tells the cruelest joke of fate and also witnesses the gentlest gift of time - the unforgettable regret of childhood sweethearts. It is equally touching as the true love that has grown quietly over the long years and finally arrived.
In 1986, Zhou Muhuai, an eight-year-old boy who had recovered from illness, was brought to Jinan by his parents from Zhejiang and became a transfer student. He was at the bottom of the class because of his heavy accent and poor foundation. Song Qinghan, a girl at the same table, took the initiative to take on the role of "little teacher" and help him make progress little by little. The two spent their entire childhood together. However, after the high school entrance examination, Zhou Muhuai and his family hurriedly moved back to Zhejiang without having time to say goodbye. In the following ten years, the two seemed to be teased by fate: he went north to study at university, and she went south to study; he returned to Jinan several times to look for her, and she also visited his hometown, but they always passed by each other. They are all waiting, rejecting everyone else, and hiding that figure in their hearts.
In 2009, Zhou Muhuai received a bone marrow donation request, and the patient turned out to be Song Qinghan in Jinan. The match was successful and he saved her. An old relationship is rekindled, and happiness is about to come, but the disease strikes again. This time, Zhou Muhuai's apprentice Feng Jianing, who silently admired him, donated bone marrow, but still failed to save Song Qinghan's life. In the winter of 2010, Song Qinghan passed away with endless regret.
Zhou Muhuai's heart seemed to be buried with it. Many years later, Feng Jianing always accompanied him as his apprentice in sweeping graves and working, and the two formed an incomparable tacit understanding. It wasn't until a car accident happened that Zhou Muhuai desperately saved Feng Jianing, and he suddenly realized that at some point, this tough and warm woman had transcended the mountains and rivers in his heart and brought new light.
Concept: There are two forms of true love, one is the persistent search across time and space, and the other is the silent waiting that penetrates the heart wall. In the end, what heals the pain of the past is often the unwavering warmth of the present.
