The first time I met Shen Zhixu was at an industry dinner. At that time, Lin Jianwei was twenty-nine years old and a little-known assistant to a top director in the industry; while Shen Zhixu was forty years old and already a well-known musician in the industry. Regarding Shen Zhixu, there are many opinions circulating in the circle. Some people say that she is cold, distant and inhumane. At that dinner party, she remained taciturn and was out of tune with the excitement around her. She never said a word to anyone else. When they were about to leave, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Lin Jianwei and said lightly: "You look very much like a person." That was all. For a long time afterwards, Lin Jianwei didn't know why he remembered this sentence, nor why he cast his eyes on that woman again and again. At the celebration banquet, she stepped forward to make a toast under the influence of alcohol; late at night, she stood outside the door of the hotel on the 27th floor, delivering sleeping pills to an unfamiliar person. Later, she learned that Shen Zhixu had a habit of insomnia, that she smoked a lot when she was creating, and that she had turbulent and restrained emotions hidden under her calm appearance. It was not until many years later that Lin Jianwei realized that he was close to a mountain. The mountain is silent, cold, and unattainable. But when she actually walked to the mountain, she found that everyone was wrong. Shen Zhixu was not born indifferent, she just hid her loneliness, fatigue and love in a place where no one could see her. One is retreating step by step, the other is moving forward step by step; one is desperately restraining, and the other is never willing to give up. When age, identity and worldly knowledge stand between them, they will eventually face the same problem - some feelings they know should not happen, but if spring mountains are in sight, who is willing to just stand and watch from a distance?
Purpose: This work takes women's growth and emotional cognition as the main line, and explores the process of understanding, companionship and self-reconciliation between people through an encounter that spans ages and life stages. The story hopes to express: true intimacy does not mean eliminating mutual boundaries, but approaching bravely while respecting differences; when one person is willing to be seen and the other person is willing to understand, it is possible for the loneliness and regrets in a long life to be illuminated.
