Birds and fish, cicadas and returning geese are naturally separated by mountains and seas.
Lu Shouchan, a boy from the countryside, was born with the cicadas chirping, guarding the old locust trees and his hometown; Jiang Ciyan, a city girl named Zangyan, devoted herself to traveling to distant mountains and rivers.
The ducks met for the first time in early spring, gave each other tokens under the locust tree, secretly stayed with each other in midsummer, and secretly fell in love in high school. They agreed to meet again in high school, thinking that they could bridge the gap between urban and rural areas and their ideals.
But geese are born to yearn for the vast world, while cicadas can only be trapped in their hometown in the middle of summer. The college entrance examination ended, and estrangement grew. She went overseas, and the heavy rain destroyed the old locust tree that carried all the memories.
Many years later, we met again at an art exhibition. An old painting of a locust tree under the moon reflected the thoughts of my youth. The sound of wind chimes passed through the years. Only the cicada and the evening breeze remembered their unexplained love.
This is a secret love that begins in the midsummer in the countryside and ends in the sea of people. It is the regret that cicadas and autumn geese can never travel together.
Purpose: The images of cicadas and wild geese are used as a metaphor for two life choices: the stability of the hometown and the ideal of a distant place. It tells the story of young people's pure secret love but failed in reality, and explains the involuntary separation during growth. Regret is also a unique mark of youth.
