"Old Stories of Wutong" tells a story about "choice" and "persistence".
Shen Jinglan chose Gu Tingjun - not a one-time choice, but a lifelong choice. Every time, he could turn around and leave, every time, he didn't.
Gu Tingjun chose Shen Jinglan - not to stalk her, but to respond with a lifetime of loyalty. He changed from a frivolous swinger to a silent, tough man who was willing to give up everything for one person.
Their love has no wedding, no vows, not even an "I love you". But it's heavier than any wedding, any vows, any "I love you." Because it has withstood the test of war, separation, captivity, exile, poverty, disease, old age, and death.
It survived all the hardships and finally died peacefully. Like a gardenia, it blooms for one season and then withers. But the aroma is still there.

Intention: Under the double crushing of the torrent of the times and personal destiny, the two souls became entangled from accident to life and death, and finally proved with a lifetime of companionship: the most rational choice is to give up the whole world for that worthy person.
