Synopsis
In the summer when he was fifteen years old, Azhu met the thirty-two-year-old scientist Ai Ming for the first time in a cafe. The sun hit the side of his face, and she was so nervous that she didn't even dare to say his name in full. He is seventeen years older than her and already has a beautiful woman by his side. She hid her heartbeat in her diary for the rest of her life. Two failed marriages, half a life wasted. She thought she would never see him again in her life. Until that day - at the age of eighty, he dedicated the rejuvenation technology he had spent half his life researching to all mankind free of charge. Everyone cheered for him, but only he knew that his most selfish intention was to let the girl who stood under the sycamore tree when she was fifteen years old stand in front of him again at her best age. Sixty-three-year-old Azhu walked into the treatment cabin. When she opened her eyes seven days later, she saw herself in the mirror back to the age of twenty-six. At the signing ceremony, the thirty-six-year-old man stood on the stage and saw the twenty-six-year-old woman sitting in the audience. The moment their eyes met, he was almost speechless. "How did you recognize me?" She asked. "I remember clearly the way you stood under the sycamore tree when you were fifteen years old." Sixty years of secret love, expressed in sixty seconds. From the age of thirty-two to eighty, he never pretended to be someone else in his heart. From the age of fifteen to the age of sixty-three, her two marriages were makeshift. No wedding, no marriage certificate. As long as we stay together in the years to come, every year. Rejuvenation is a gift to all mankind, but for her, it is a preference that he devoted his life to giving to her. Technology has rewritten the length of life, while love gives time warmth. --- Tags: science fiction / soft spot / reunion / future imaginary / strong woman Concept: 1. Concept of love: Love is an active choice that spans time Love is not the patent of youth, nor is it synonymous with passion. True love is to confirm and choose each other again and again over the long years. Ai Ming and A Zhu have spent sixty years proving that the essence of love is not binding, but willing side by side. It settles in the daily porridge and rice and the rotation of the four seasons, and takes root in each other's aging and reborn faces. 2. Concept of science and technology: science and technology ethics that benefit all living beings When rejuvenation technology might be monopolized by capital as a privilege for the rich, Amin chose open source. This points to a core proposition: the ultimate meaning of technological progress is not to serve a few people, but to give every ordinary person the right to choose their life again. Technology should be a tool to alleviate human suffering, rather than a shackles that create class gaps. 3. Outlook on life: Time gives depth to existence After life is infinitely extended, what people face is not eternal carnival, but a more profound question - how to face the long time? How to prevent years from becoming repeated consumption? The work proposes: The meaning of life never lies in how long you live, but in whether every day you live is worth it. The real "immortality" is to be young in body, clear in consciousness and with love in heart. 4. Views on marriage: emotional freedom beyond the contract The traditional marriage system is gradually fading in a society with young people. The work explores the nature of intimate relationships through the choice of Ai Ming and A Zhu to "not receive a marriage certificate and only accompany each other with love" - when mutual financial assistance and pension security no longer become inevitable functions of marriage, love returns to its purest state: two independent people choose to spend the rest of their lives together because of their attraction to each other. This is a willing love that is repeated every day. 5. Concept of justice: Idealism will eventually defeat greed The capital power represented by Wang Feizheng tried to steal, monopolize, and destroy, but was finally completely defeated. This is not a simple confrontation between good and evil, but a profound question on whether capital should control the right to life. The work firmly believes that kindness and persistence may be late, but they will never be absent. Idealism is not naivety, but the courage to still choose to believe after countless failures. --- Core idea: When technology rewrites the length of life, only love gives time warmth. A secret love that spans sixty years, the fate of two generations, a gentle questioning about time, technology and human nature - living is to walk through every spring with worthy people.
