Thirty-Three Years of Ginkgo Sleep

The seventeen-year-old Wen Ruan's family fell into decline, and she entered the Marquis Mansion to become Xie Xingci's nurturing aunt. Her eyes and brows were as gentle as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and her quiet temperament was as quiet as white tea. Due to his promise to his old friend Shen Zhiyi, Xie Yanci raised his orphan Xie Xingci alone. Although he was attracted to Wen Ruan, he always restrained his alienation due to responsibility and ethics. Xie Xingci has been deeply in love with Wen Ruan since he first met him at the age of seven. This dependence and attachment turned into a paranoid love over the years, but became a taboo due to their status as "aunt and nephew" and the existence of Xie Yanci. After thirteen years of companionship, Wen Ruan guarded his hopeless infatuation with Xie Yanci, Xie Xingci hid his secret affection for Wen Ruan, Xie Yanci was trapped in the dilemma of commitment and love, and the three of them fell into a deadlock of mutual abuse. After Xie Yanci died of illness, Xie Xingci, who succeeded him, imprisoned Wen Ruanruan in Zhuyuan for five years in the name of love, and finally got her to escape. In the next fifteen years, Xie Xingci traveled all over the mountains and rivers, searching all over the south and north of the Yangtze River, and finally reunited with Wen Ruan, who had already given birth, in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Time has smoothed out the edges of love and hate, and the two spent five years of staying together, dissolving half a lifetime of obsession and pain, and were finally buried together in a sea of ​​white tea flowers. The thirty-three years of falling ginkgo leaves and withered white tea became the final footnote of this deep love. Intention: The eternal game of love and etiquette: with Xie Xingci's taboo infatuation for Wen Ruan and Wen Ruan's humble watch over Xie Yanci as the core, it explores the fierce conflict between personal emotions and ethical order under the framework of feudal ethics, shows the struggle and helplessness of true love under the constraints of identity, dignity, and secular vision, and interrogates the boundaries between human nature and ethics. The closed loop of life between obsession and relief: through Xie Xingci's transformation from teenage paranoia to middle-aged search, and finally staying together in old age, and Wen Ruan's journey from infatuated waiting to desperate escape, and finally the dust has settled, it interprets the life philosophy of "obsession is a disaster, relief is a transition" - the love and hate entangled for half a life will eventually calm down in the wash of time, and learn to reconcile with regrets. The multiple dimensions of companionship and redemption: Whether it is Wen Ruan's gentle redemption of Xie Xingci when he was young, Xie Xingci's constant protection for half his life, or the mutual comfort between the two in their later years, they all demonstrate the multiple meanings of companionship: it is not only the glimmer of light in trouble, the fetters in paranoia, but also the ultimate power to overcome pain and complete self-redemption. The dissolution and precipitation of love and hate by time: Taking the time span of thirty-eight years as the axis, and using the images of withered ginkgo and blooming white tea, it conveys the dual power of time - it can not only smooth out sharp love and hate, but also precipitate deep affection, allowing the once passionate, crazy, and painful entanglements to eventually turn into cherishing the essence of life and tenderly letting go of the past.
