Synopsis
In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Shen Huaiyu returned from studying in Japan and was escorted back to the mansion by his brother Shen Huaijin and imprisoned in the old house in the backyard. His elder brother was five years older than him. He took up the family business at the age of sixteen. He was cold, stubborn, and as feudal as an old piece of wood. The fire in Huaiyu's heart to save the country was extinguished by the domestic scolding and his brother's silence. Huaijin smoked opium. Huaiyu held his hand and said, "Quit it." Huaijin smiled and replied, "I can't quit it." Huaiyu said, "If you can't quit, I will smoke too and quit with you." After two months, Huaijin relapsed. Huaiyu ran into a dark alley and smoked four tubes of opium. He leaned against the wall and laughed until his whole body trembled. Then he wiped the corners of his mouth and went home, where he continued to serve his brother tea and keep vigil. When he was addicted to drugs, he bit his hand until it was bloody and refused to let his brother touch him. Huaiyu knelt down and confessed: "Brother, I like you. I have liked you since I was a child." Huaijin was silent for a long time and said, "You are tired, go and rest." The next day, he arranged a marriage for his brother. On the wedding day, the bride ran away with a woman. Huaiyu stood in the empty hall wearing wedding clothes, expressionless. Huaijin was sitting in the main seat and two of his fingernails were broken. In the middle of the night, Huaijin walked into his brother's room, leaned over and kissed him. Tears slipped into his brother's lips. The next day Huaiyu pressed him and asked, "Do you like me or not?" Huaijin's lips trembled and she couldn't say a word. Huaiyu smiled and cried and said "Okay". Huaijin grabbed him and held him in his arms - the door was not closed tightly and someone saw him. Discussions came like a flood. They were kicked out of the Shen family and moved to a shabby house in the west of the city. They were thrown vegetables and stones. One day, he was blocked in an alley and the stick fell. Huaiyu protected his brother with his body and was covered in blood. At dusk, they returned to the shabby house, knelt down facing each other, and worshiped the heaven and the earth. One is to worship heaven and earth, the other is to worship in the high hall, and the husband and wife bow to each other. Late at night, they walked to the river. Huaijin tied stones around their ankles and said, "I have been dirty enough in this life. I want to be cleaner when I die." The two walked into the river holding hands. When the water reaches the top of the head, everything becomes calm. At dawn, I only picked up two rocks tied with ropes from the downstream. The wind by the river comes every year and blows for a long time, as if someone is talking. Philosophy: In an era when ethics and ethics cannibalize people, two people bound together by fate spent their lives proving that love does not need to be spoken.
