Eight years of pursuit, six cities, and countless passes.
In the autumn of 1991, in Shouxian County, northern Anhui Province, a rural boy wearing patched trousers and carrying a snakeskin bag walked into the county No. 1 Middle School. He was completely proud of his third place in the county. At the table in front of him is a city girl with a ponytail.
Two pieces of braised pork, a pair of woolen gloves, a loaned tape recorder, and a box of warm clam oil—this was all she had on her mind. He suppressed all his emotions in his heart and only said, "Everyone will be admitted to Shanghai."
When the college entrance examination results were released, he ranked second in the county and went to Fudan; she performed abnormally and failed to repeat the exam.
From then on, she began an eight-year pursuit——
After re-study, he was admitted to Tongji University. He graduated early and went to Tongji University to study for graduate school. She didn't know;
She was studying for graduate school at Fudan University, and he was studying for a Ph. D. At Peking University, but she was a step too late;
She went to Yunnan to do experiments, and unexpectedly heard that he had taught in the same mountain village primary school two years ago. The children remembered "the teacher named Sun."
He has been in Shanghai for seven years, and she has been in Shanghai for seven years. Recently, they were only separated by a building, but they had never met.
She wrote an 80,000-word diary: "It's not my fault that I passed you by." He didn't know that she was following his footsteps, from Shouxian County to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Yunnan, and from Yunnan to Hangzhou, covering most of China.
Until the night of Chinese Valentine's Day in 2002, on the Magpie Bridge in West Lake, a voice eight years late sounded from behind -
"Liu Yun."
This is a true story about missing and pursuing. Not all waiting will be answered, but some people are worth searching for in a lifetime.
Concept: True love is not the luck of falling in love at first sight, but the courage to run for it even though you know you may miss it.
