Ji Yanqiu, a third-year law student, and Shen Zhiyi, an art major, had only been together for a week during the winter in Shanghai when they were faced with a 42-day long-distance separation over winter break.
Ji Yanqiu returned to a small city in Inner Mongolia. In the breaks between studying for the bar exam, she found awkward but earnest ways to express how much she missed Shen Zhiyi: a densely written "long-distance relationship agreement" and a letter titled "To D," filled with vows of "the rest of our lives." On her travels in the tropics, Shen Zhiyi filled Ji Yanqiu's quiet winter days with photos and videos.
But the distance of 1,500 kilometers and their different family backgrounds made them taste the bitterness of a long-distance relationship for the first time. Even harsher trials soon followed: Shen Zhiyi's parents strongly opposed them, and Ji Yanqiu chose to let her go, returning to her hometown alone while Shen Zhiyi went overseas.
Three years later, Shen Zhiyi returned to China. This time, Ji Yanqiu no longer backed down. With her mother's encouragement, she won back her love and returned to Shanghai, working her way up from an intern lawyer to build a place of her own. Through her actions, she proved that love is not possession, but becoming someone worthy of you. When the two girls could finally stand side by side in the sunlight, every moment of waiting had been worth it.
Theme: Temporary separation is for a better reunion. I once let you go far away; now it is my turn to come to you.
Very good, very good, I came to see it in advance 💪
The two of them had a good knock. The portrayal was so delicate. Please update.
