In the early years of the Republic of China, in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Zhiyao and Cheng Yunqing had known each other since childhood. They were childhood sweethearts and they once made a vow "for life". However, the war broke out suddenly, the years rolled by, and the torrent of fate finally separated the two people in their respective ends of the world.
Shen Zhiyao, who was studying in the north, expressed his longing for her in letters, but never waited for her reply; Cheng Yunqing, who was in the turmoil of war, was forced to marry into a powerful family and became a victim of political marriage.
Over the decades, they met several times but never stopped.
In the rainy alley of Shanghai, she passed by with an umbrella, and he silently looked back at the street corner;
On the riverbank in Chongqing, they sighed about old dreams under the moonlight, but did not dare to embrace each other;
On the streets of Nanjing, they passed each other as if they were strangers.
Until the eve of liberation in 1949, Cheng Yunqing passed away suddenly, and the cause of death remained a mystery. There was only one unsent letter left in her room, with beautiful and sad handwriting:
"How wonderful it would be if there was no separation in life."
When Shen Zhiyao rushed back to Jiangnan, everything had changed. He stood in front of her grave and whispered softly:
"Yunqing, I'm back."
The breeze is gentle, the mist is hazy, the peach blossoms are falling, and the past gradually disappears in the soft waves of the water town...
Intention: The world is misty and rainy, the love is deep and lifeless, I only hope that there will be no separation in the world. The rain in the south of the Yangtze River has fallen for a whole century, soaking the old dreams and washing away the vows.
