When he was fifteen years old, Gu Siyu signed his name on the custody agreement and took his twelve-year-old brother Gu Siqing home.
From then on, he was no longer a teenager. He is the elder brother, the guardian, and the last roof in the world for his younger brother. He lived like a wall, blocking out all the wind and rain, and swallowing all the fragility into his throat. The people inside the wall thought it was always sunny, but they didn't know that the person outside the wall had already been drenched.
Seven years. Over two thousand five hundred nights. He left the door of his brother's room just a crack, just enough to hear breathing but just enough to see no one. This was his only, insignificant, unknown weakness.
Until late one winter night, Gu Siqing got up to pour water and saw the light coming from the crack in the door.
He saw his brother sitting under the lamp, flipping through his medical records from seven years ago, his fingers trembling slightly. He saw the man he thought was invulnerable, leaning his face up against the wall, his Adam's apple rolled, and he swallowed back all the words he wanted to say.
At that moment, what he saw was not a mountain—it was a person. A person who is afraid, in pain, and unable to sleep just like him.
From that day on, he could never look at his brother the same way again. He wanted to see Him, from beginning to end, completely.
There is a door between seeing a person and walking into that person's world. Gu Siyu spent seven years hiding himself, how long will it take Gu Siqing to pull him out? Those unspeakable likes, those swallowed back words, those thoughts that were tossed over and over in the middle of the night and shouldn't have been - they disappeared bit by bit in the light coming from the crack in the door.
This is a story about seeing and being seen. About a man who spent seven years living like a wall, and another man who tried his best to tear down that wall. About those silent, clumsy, never-spoken loves, and the day they were finally spoken.
The door is open. Light shines through. You saw me.
——He waited for seven years and finally waited for this sentence.
Concept: Some people have loved you silently for many years. The only thing you have to do is to see them.
