The fire of sunset cannot turn time's vexations
into ashes and send them flying from the chimney.
They stain the wings of rooks for a long time,
then come to rest on the stones of the tidal waves,
where they quietly listen to the boatman's song.
Li Jinfa, "The Abandoned Woman"
They have been together for twelve years. She has terminal stomach cancer and not much time left.
For years, her lover gave herself over to reckless indulgence, without a care. Though she was almost completely disheartened, she still couldn't let go.
A return after utter despair, and a new love.
What will she choose?
As the countdown on her life speeds up...
One-line summary: A woman who did wrong comes back, and this time, the real crematorium is waiting.
