She hid under the covers that night, crying quietly, and finally called a psychological crisis hotline. “Please, could you say something to me in the voice of someone in my family?” The next day, she realized she’d dialed the wrong number. But someone really had answered her that night: “Sweetheart, happy Children’s Day.” A few months later, she got into her dream school. After much deliberation, expecting her message to disappear without a trace, she texted that strange number: [I got into college] To her surprise, the reply came a day later: [Congratulations, darling. You got your wish.] Later, she fell for someone. She graduated, found her first job, and went to make a life for herself in a bustling big city. She told him about every milestone, and he always replied. But one day, he suddenly stopped responding. That day, Shi Jian rushed to the hospital. Under the pale ceiling lights, she saw him for the first time, and learned his name for the first time, too. Song Huaili looked at her and said gently, “Don’t worry, sweetheart. I’ll be fine.” The year Shi Jian first got in touch with Song Huaili, she was nineteen and he was thirty-two.

Everyone knew he’d once endured a long period of silence, frustrated and unrecognized, wandering from place to place with a guitar on his back. But no one knew that those days were the memories he treasured most. Back then, he and Xuan Yang raced along the border roads of Yunnan in a beat-up old pickup, sleeping wherever they could at night. He’d pick up his guitar and sing for her. They’d drink and talk about their dreams and tomorrow, laughing as they shared a cigarette, and kiss each other at the edge of the sunrise. - From complete obscurity to meeting at the summit, she lifted him into the clouds and showed him the beauty of the world. Many years later, he released a song with the lyric: “The love born when we had nothing lasts the longest. I once came here.” ·Rough, charming wandering singer × washed-up music producer Theme: Love can overcome every obstacle.
