The midsummer carries the humid evening breeze, hiding a youth that ends in vain and a life-long dilemma. For a long time, the girl has been trapped in the shackles of the original system of favoring boys over girls. She is alone on campus, and there are only harsh words and beatings at home. In the gloomy daily life, the boy is the only gentleness that breaks into her world.
They walked together for a while after school, using the sunflower as a secret tacit understanding, and secretly agreed to go to the same university, placing all their hopes of escaping suffering on each other. But the malice of the world can easily crush the meager warmth. When the girl's parents saw the two of them together, they punched and kicked her in public, tearing away her remaining dignity.
After surviving the torturous college entrance examination, her admission notice was torn apart by students, and her admission files were destroyed by her younger brother. Her last glimmer of hope to escape the sea of suffering was completely extinguished. The young man went to study in a foreign country, and they hurriedly separated at the station. They made an appointment to meet each other with sunflowers in the future. The ensuing despair overwhelmed the girl's mind. She was trapped in the recurring memories and was sent to a remote nursing home by her family.
For the next four years, she wrote down her thoughts every day, and sent letters to the boy's old residence. She stayed at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, hoping that the golden bouquet would arrive as scheduled. During a heavy rain, she mistook the figure in the distance for a returning boy, and ran wildly in the rain, only to get a failed illusion, and her body and spirit deteriorated day by day.
Many years later, the young man returned to the small town, dug out thousands of letters filled with concern that had accumulated over the past four years, and followed the address to the nursing home, only to receive the news that she had passed away. The suicide note in the forest contained her belated confession, and a sea of sunflowers became a promise that the young man would keep alone for the rest of his life.
