In Tongzilou, a small town at the beginning of the millennium, brothers Chen Yi and Xu Ye, who had reorganized their family, depended on each other amidst rumors. They hid their shady love, but were discovered by their father on a rainy night and were forcibly sent to a remote "behavior correction center." There was no education there, just electric shock and violence. That summer, the cicadas chirped harshly, and when the long night was coming to an end, they failed to wait until dawn. "If I had it to do over again, I would still block all the blame for you, even if the ending is irreversible." This is the destruction of a forbidden love under the oppression of reality, and it is the last love letter written by two teenagers with their lives.
Purpose: To explore the struggle between love and dignity in extreme environments, and the devouring of individuals by secular prejudice.
