In a turbulent era, a pair of brothers take completely different life trajectories.
The elder brother Zhang Lin left home when he was young and shouldered the burden of the family when he returned. His only obsession is to protect his younger brother Minghui's stable life, so he gets into disputes and cannot help himself. His love is as deep as the sea, but it also carries unquestionable guidance and arrangements.
The younger brother Minghui grew up under the protection of his elder brother, but he has his own light in his heart. Influenced by his mentor, he chose a long road full of ideals but also full of thorns. The thoughts of family and country and the love of brotherhood were fiercely torn in his heart, but his attachment to his brother never extinguished.
From the old house with the fragrance of locust flowers in the hometown, to the snow-filled port in a foreign country; from the brief embrace in the midst of war, to the silent confrontation in front of different camps; in the end, a vast expanse of water became a chasm that separated each other.
The elder brother burns out his life on the other side with unfulfilled promises, while the younger brother withers away alone on this shore waiting hopelessly. They both gave their all for the most important being in their hearts, but they could not understand each other's full intentions and sacrifices until their death.
This is not just a story about farewell and waiting.
It tells how individuals are pulled, collided and separated by the track of destiny in the turbulent tide of the times.
It describes how the deep-rooted family affection conflicts with personal ambitions, and how it runs through life and death in the most silent way.
Their stories may not be recorded in the annals of history, but the care that remains undiminished in desperate situations is like the locust flower that blooms every year, witnessing all the silent attachment and the sunken past.
Purpose: To carry forward the spirit of patriotism and unify the country's stance. It means that Lu Tai has always been a relative who has broken bones and connected tendons.
