Tea Mountain

Shen Qingye is a cold-faced doctor from the Institute of Botany and has only been to the mountains once in his life. When she was eight years old, her father stayed in a wheelchair forever in order to hold her. From then on, she was trapped at the foot of the mountain, guarding the mountain for her father with her lifelong research. Lin Jingzhe is an extreme photographer who travels all over the world. He only fears one thing in his life - to stop. She took pictures all over the world, but after every shutter sound, she waited for the never-ending "Very good". Camellias bloom in the coldest places and their flowering period lasts only seven days. One of them went up the mountain for his father, and the other went down the mountain for himself. On a cliff 3,400 meters above sea level, at the moment when the moonlight shines through the petals, two people discovered at the same time—— It turns out that the world is worth living, not because of how high you go. It's because someone is holding your hand and looking down with you. Character introduction "Camellia" is taken from the rare alpine flower "Moonlight Camellia" in the novel, and the flower language is "purity in adversity". Profile Shen Qingye (28 years old) Identity: Associate researcher at Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ph. D. In botany Appearance: 168cm tall, with long straight black hair that is always pulled up with a wooden hairpin. The skin color is very white, the eyes are slender, and the color of the pupils is very light, like a frozen lake in early winter. Wear plain shirts and wide-leg pants all year round, with cuffs always rolled up to the middle of your forearm. Her fingers are long and knuckled, and her index finger will tremble slightly when she holds the pen - that is her only flaw in controlling her emotions. Character core: A typical person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside. Speaking directly and without beating around the bush makes people feel inhumane. But her indifference is actually a protective shell. Because she is too empathetic, she wraps herself up with reason. He is more patient with plants than people, and can talk to a specimen for a whole day, but if he stays in a crowd for more than two hours, he needs to be alone to recover. Core Trauma: When she was eight years old, her father took her to climb Cangshan Mountain in search of new varieties of orchids. When she was going down the mountain, she stepped on the air and slipped. Her father tried to catch her, but a falling rock hit her spine. The lower body has been paralyzed ever since. Qingye's fear of heights stems from this, and what's even deeper is his sense of guilt that "it's all because of me." She studies plants, in fact, to see the world for her father who can no longer go up the mountain. Hidden Skills: Excellent at cooking. She calls this "experimental recorded cooking", and each dish is precisely timed, down to the gram. But she only makes it for herself because "other people's tongues are uncontrollable." Character arc: from "I can't go up the mountain" to "I can go up with you", from "I don't need anyone" to "I need you to be here". Classic lines: "Plants don't lie. They grow leggy when they are short of light, wither when they are short of water, and all the pain is written on their bodies." "I don't feel sorry for the scenery at the bottom of the mountain." Lin Jingzhe (26 years old) Identity: Freelance photographer, National Geographic contracted photographer, extreme sports enthusiast Appearance: 172cm tall, with short hair highlighted with a hint of camellia red (later the audience will find out that this was intentional). He has wheat-colored skin and high eyebrows. When he smiles, his eyes turn into crescents, but when he is quiet, the corners of his mouth will unconsciously turn downwards. He wears a jacket and overalls all year round, with two cameras hanging around his neck. There is a callus on the tiger's eyelid of his right hand - it was caused by pressing the shutter button. Core character: Sunny and cheerful on the outside, he is the kind of person who walks with wind and can light up the whole room when he smiles. But only she knew that she had to retching in the bathroom before each filming. During an anxiety attack, I would frantically check my phone, light a lighter, and shake my legs, unable to stop. The family is full of "geniuses": his father is a well-known director, his mother is a pianist, and his brother is a talented violinist. She chose photography because "it's the only thing in the house that no one has touched," but subconsciously she was afraid that she was not good enough and that she would disappoint everyone. Core Trauma: When I won the photography award for the first time at the age of fifteen, my father said, "It was a good shot, but it's not even interesting." From then on, every photo of her is waiting for the "very good" that can never be waited for. Hidden skill: A photographic memory of direction, and I never use a GPS when going into the mountains. But she couldn't remember faces, and she couldn't name the institute's security guard after seeing him twenty times. Character Arc: From "I don't stop because if I stop I'll collapse" to "I can stop because someone catches me." Classic lines: "Do you know why I like to take photos from high places? Because when you stand on the edge of a cliff, all your fears are pure - you only need to be afraid of falling. Unlike usual, you have too many things to be afraid of." "Qingye, do you know why I chose camellia? Because it blooms in the coldest place. I always feel that those blooming there must be particularly pain-free." Important supporting role Shen Du (Qingye's father, 63 years old) A professor of botany, he was an expert in field expeditions when he was young. After his lower body was paralyzed, he switched to a desk job in plant taxonomy, and he still worked at his desk late into the night every day. He never said "I'm sorry" to Qingye, but Qingye knew what he wanted to say. The most intimate moment between the two was when they were looking at specimens together, with him pointing in his wheelchair and her lying on the table taking notes. Lao Zhou (director of the institute, 58 years old) The old man at the Institute of Botany watched Qingye grow up. He knows all about Qingye's past, but he never takes the initiative to mention it. He would bring her late-night snacks when Qingye worked overtime too late. He would stand in her way when Qingye refused to work on a cooperative project. He would also arrange for Jingzhe to be moved to the office next to hers when the time was right. Chen Yu (Jingzhe's agent and cousin, 32 years old) Shrewd but soft-hearted. Helps Jingzhe handle all external affairs. He knows about her anxiety disorder but doesn't know how to help her. The catchphrase is "Ancestor, can you save me some trouble?" But when Jingzhe went to the mountains and lost contact, he would stay up all night waiting for her to turn on her phone, and would block everyone outside when she had an attack. Intention: Two people who are stuck in their respective lives, because they meet each other, one learns to move forward and the other learns to stop. The mountains are never far away. The mountain is on the threshold of the heart. A mountain that cannot be climbed by one person can be overcome by two people together
