The Last Love Letter

[Blurb]

A bookstore called Northbound opens in Jinnan. Its owner is beautiful and talented, but one day the shop catches fire. Though she has already escaped, the owner risks her life to rush back into the flames, reportedly to find a book.

Later, the bookstore's former site is redeveloped into a cinema. On April 2, 2021, the Northbound Cinema screens a film called Northbound. The opening credits read: This film is adapted from From Long Ago, the final work of the late author Buzhi Dong.

It is said that the late author's final work is her autobiography. The book's last chapter is a farewell letter from a firefighter.

The letter's final sentence reads: Gu Xiyuan, when this mission is over, let's get married.

But in the July 12 forest fire, nine firefighters die in the line of duty. The youngest is only 23.

Gu Xiyuan, you have to be okay, even without me.

Xia Xiaobei, I'll be okay even without you.
