1935. Shanghai
Turbulent times, prosperous city
When Liu Xiangdong met the blooming rose, everything came so easily
When she heard his name for the first time, she thought, "It's like a river of spring water flowing eastward." When she left him, she said, "The river will always flow to its own place."
For eight years, he was immersed in his own world of words, because she once encouraged him and said that he would definitely become a great writer.
So, he kept waiting for the rose to flow back to him from the river.
