"The Broken Green Shirt" records the tragic love between Lu Yanhui and Su Wanqing that was crushed by the times from 19667 to 1992 from the first-hand perspective of an educated youth. Under the sycamore tree in the middle school, the talented Lu Yanhui and Su Wanqing, who is good at dancing, secretly fell in love, but the wave of going to the mountains and countryside separated the two into mountain villages hundreds of miles apart. During the off-season, they met each other over the mountains and rehearsed model plays together. The young people's pure affection was hidden in the wind and moon in the pavilion and the sketch album. However, Han Zhanping, the son of the village cadre, was jealous and maliciously reported on Lu Yanhui's poor family background.
In 1972, when the quota for the only Workers', Peasants' and Soldiers' University came up, the commune forced two people to choose one. In order not to delay Lu Yanhui's future, Su Wan reluctantly said goodbye on a clear and rainy night, took the entire album of paintings and stayed alone in the mountains. Lu Yanhui gradually stopped writing letters after he went to the city to study. Su Wanqing waited in vain and married in a hurry to avoid harassment. After the marriage, she lost her husband and raised her children alone. She missed the opportunity to return to the city and take the college entrance examination, and spent half her life trapped in the mountains and working hard.
More than ten years later, the two met by chance in a market, but they had already taken different paths. Lu Yanhui was filled with guilt when he became famous, but it was too late to make amends. The scenery of Qingshan has not changed, but the people who stayed together have been separated for half their lives. The pressure of the times, the jealousy of people and the uncertainty of fate have created a past story of educated youth with no way to repay and lifelong regret.
Intention: In troubled times, young people's love is lost by mistake, and the rest of their lives are full of regrets.
