On a summer night in 1998, with parasols flying in town A, a series of thefts and murders turned the gangster leader Zhang Weiguo into a hero who sacrificed his life in the line of duty. Policeman Chen Jingshan rose to prominence, and two close families were suddenly separated. Twenty-four years later, Chen Jingshan's son Chen Hao was transferred back to his hometown and reunited with Zhang Weiguo's daughter Zhang Yan at the "Wanfeng" pub at the end of the alley.
Childhood playmates meet again after half a lifetime. Time has smoothed the edges of youth, but cannot erase the feelings in the heart. Ambiguity quietly grows in the day and night when we get together. The warm daily life seems to heal the scars of the past. But no one knew that what stood between them was never twenty-four years, but a bloody truth that was deliberately covered up.
When the dusty evidence was uncovered one by one, the bullet that hit Zhang Weiguo actually came from Chen Jingshan's gun. Behind the name of the hero was a lie born of selfishness. The benefactor became the enemy who killed his father, and the person he loved became the son of the enemy. The boundaries between black and white, good and evil collapsed.
On one side is unforgettable love, on the other side is the unforgettable blood feud; on the other side is the name of justice in police uniform, and on the other side is the moral heart of the public. This reunion, wrapped up in fate, eventually fell apart in the face of the truth. The evening wind still blows through the bluestone alley, and the sycamores fly year after year. They have become the most familiar strangers in the old street. In the intertwining of light and dark in people's hearts, they understand that the world is never black and white. Only regret and relief accompany the long road ahead.
Intention: There is no absolute between good and evil, and people's hearts are not black and white.
