In the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the sixteen-year-old Fang Wanzhi broke off the engagement and went to find his elder brother. When escaping to Shanghai, she also saved a dying man.
"Forty silver dollars, save me." He said to Wan Zhi, who was too distracted to take care of himself.
Wan Zhi smiled: "Eighty."
Later, on the side of the ocean ferry, he held her hand and said, "Come back to the United States with me."
As the Huangpu River whistle sounded, she kissed him goodbye, turned around and disappeared into the heavy rain.
When we met again, she was holding someone else's arm.
In 1911, the year of Xinhai, at the age of 26, she was killed in a ferry to eliminate traitors.

When Chen Zekun was seventeen years old, he was the devil in Chinatown. After being looked down upon by his father, he packed up and went back to China for a blind date, and it was Hu Tianhai who came as well.
Until he was dying, he saw a girl who was rumored by his fellow villagers to be as beautiful as a lily after the rain.
So that's it. He suddenly realized.
Later he discovered that she was no meek country bumpkin; on the contrary, she was the fire that overthrew the dynasty.
In the end she died and so did he.
