A Kuomintang officer accidentally met an actor. They met, got to know each other and fell in love. The military officers wanted to save the people from the fire, but they were helpless by the party-state's policies. Later, the army was defeated and retreated to Taiwan, and the officers were asked to leave together because they were highly appreciated. He promised the actor that he would definitely come back to pick him up, but there was never any news except a letter. The actor was caught by the secret agents and suffered all kinds of torture but refused to reveal any information about the officer. Later, the actor was released, looking dazed and haggard. Everyone thought he was crazy, but who knew the promise he was waiting for: I would be back on the 38th Summer Solstice.
