Nan Yun's childhood was filled with silence and parting. His father went to work in Kobe, and his mother had a cold temperament. There was only oppressive silence in the house all year round. The hot summer platform, the curved rails, and the desolation in the chirping of cicadas were the deepest background of his boyhood. Until the neighbor girl Fujiwara Lumen appeared. Her baggy school uniform, hearty smile, and pyrotechnic recklessness were like a ray of light, crashing into his dark world.
Eight years ago, beside the old swing on Diehu North Road, a piece of candy stopped his tears; eight years later, at the same place, she confessed her love through drunkenness, and the two lonely hearts were tightly linked to each other. They held hands in the mountains and fields, cuddled on the tram, kissed under the sunset, and secretly held on to the only warmth in the dilapidated town. But the scars of his original family are always there. Lu Ming is tortured by his alcoholic and violent father, and Nan Yun is struggling in a repressive home.
When Lu Ming was beaten by her father, Nan Yun desperately took her away and hid her in her small room. Two teenagers abandoned by the world warmed each other under the leaky roof and carried each other's future on their thin shoulders. However, fate was not kind to them. Their mother passed away unexpectedly, and their last support collapsed. The fragmentary figures in the bankbook are the tuition money saved by his mother grinding tofu day and night, and also the deep love he can no longer repay.
Standing at the crossroads of life, Nan Yun, burdened with the pain of losing his mother and the weight of life, supported each other with the homeless Lu Ming. They struggled in the mud, persisted in despair, and used the most stubborn attitude of teenagers to fight against the cold reality.
This is a coming-of-age story that captures the heart of a young man. Starting from Butterfly Lake North Road, it records loneliness and redemption, pain and love. Between the dilapidated town and the roaring tram, two scarred souls fight against the desolation with love, holding on to each other's light in the darkness.
Intention: love
