In the mountain villages of the late 1990s, the old locust trees bloomed every year, and the long alleys were covered with falling snow, hiding the youthful and regretful youth of a generation.
The young man Shitou returned home with his worries and the mistakes he made recklessly in his youth, hoping to atone for his sins and live a peaceful life in his hometown. Reunited with Sui Zi, whom he had known since childhood, the old feelings came back to his heart along with the rustling locust flowers. The fateful ties could not be circumvented even if they were cut off.
The rural years are gentle and harsh, and the daily fireworks hide small joys and involuntary separations. The youthful entanglements of the three slowly unfolded in the wind of the mountains. The gentle and pure Taizi, the bright and magnanimous Yuni, accompany the stones through the poor and simple mountains and fields.
As time passes by for decades, the locust flowers bloom and fall. The young man will eventually lose his childishness and learn to take responsibility and let go. The entanglement of love and hate cannot withstand the tenderness of time. After the regret comes to an end, there is reconciliation and stability.
This is the old time that belongs to old friends in the mountains and fields. It is a tender and regretful half-life bond hidden deep in the locust flowers.
