In 1937, the first snow in Jiangnan came quietly.
The famous lady Wen Qixue took a startling look behind the screen, and she was doomed to a lifetime of ruin. She fell in love with the young man who taught her horse riding and archery and took her to watch the fireworks in the world - Chen Zhengguo.
One is a gentle and dignified young lady from an aristocratic family, and the other is a passionate young man who cares about his family and country. When the poetic meaning of "the plum blossoms in the small courtyard have not yet bloomed" was torn apart by the flames of war, Wen Qixue resolutely took off her fine clothes and put on red makeup, just to be side by side with her lover in the troubled times filled with gunfire.
"I give you a branch of spring from the south of the Yangtze River, and I wish you peace and prosperity every year."
But when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, the personal love between children seems so insignificant. Chen Zhengguo joined the revolution incognito, while Wen Qixue waited in the boudoir. The misinformed death certificate, the long ten years of uncertainty between life and death, the iron hoofs of the enemy...
When they met again on the banks of the Qinhuai River, it was already "things and people are different".
In this life, they love patiently, passionately, and without regrets.
The falling snow in the south of the Yangtze River is the tenderness when we first meet, and the confusion when we say goodbye.
Purpose: By depicting the love story of Chen Zhengguo and Wen Qixue in turbulent times, it praises the lofty spirit of Chinese people who are willing to sacrifice their personal happiness and even their lives for the sake of the country's justice and the love of their hearts at the critical moment of national survival. It shows the tenacity of human nature, the purity of love and the profound feelings of family and country in troubled times.
