Cheng Yuanshan was a middle school physics teacher before he retired. After forty years of marriage, his wife Zhang Jie has already become an inseparable part of his life. After his wife died of illness, he lived alone, and in the long and quiet days, he slowly learned how to deal with loss.
Song Chunlan is a nurse, six or seven years younger than Cheng Yuanshan. She does not have a decent academic qualification, nor does she have a comfortable retirement life, but she has the simplest intelligence, consideration and propriety of ordinary workers. She has taken care of countless elderly people and seen countless farewells, but she never thought that she would meet someone willing to accompany her in her later years.
Two lonely people get close again because of companionship.
But at this age, love is no longer as simple as "I love you". The real estate and memories left by Zhang Jie, the daughter's concern and interests for her father, Song Chunlan's responsibility to her son, as well as pension, money, social perspective and illness have all become realities they have to face.
They finally got their marriage license.
It's just that marriage doesn't make life easier.
This is the belated love between two old people, and it is also the last gentle but stubborn fight for fate between two ordinary people.
In this life, one must always love something.
Even if it's already dusk, it's still worth having a spring of your own.
Purpose: To write about the love and dignity of life at dusk: even if the days are short, people still have the right to love again and live seriously.
