Ji Yanqiu, a third-year law student, and Shen Zhiyi, an art major, had just been together for a week during the winter in Shanghai, and then they had a forty-two-day winter vacation away from home.
Ji Yanqiu returned to the small town in Inner Mongolia, and during the break of reviewing for the law exam, he expressed his longing for her in a clumsy but solemn way - a dense "long-distance relationship agreement", and a "To D" that contained a vow "for the rest of my life". During her journey to the tropics, Shen Zhiyi filled Ji Yanqiu's quiet winter days with photos and videos.
But the distance of 1,500 kilometers and different family backgrounds made them taste the sourness of long-distance love for the first time. More severe tests followed: the strong opposition of Shen Zhiyi's parents made Ji Yanqiu choose to let go and return to his hometown alone, while Shen Zhiyi traveled across the ocean.
Three years later, Shen Zhiyi returned to China. This time, Ji Yanqiu no longer flinched - with her mother's encouragement, she recovered her lover, returned to Shanghai, and worked her way up from a trainee lawyer to her own world. She proved with her actions: love is not about possessing, but about becoming someone worthy of you. When the two girls finally stand side by side in the sun, all the waiting is worth it.
Intention: The temporary separation is for a better reunion: I once let you go far away, but now it is me walking towards you.
