In the ancient and modern city of Nanjing, graduate student Mi Tang leads a peaceful and orderly life. Her world was filled with laboratories, libraries and sycamore trees along the Qinhuai River, until an unexpected encounter connected her with the mysterious Gu Qinghan. The appearance of Gu Qinghan was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and revealing the mystery of life and death hidden behind the peaceful life.
Mi Tang gradually discovered that Gu Qinghan was carrying a heavy past, and this past was closely related to her future. The torrent of the times rolls forward, urging everyone to study and live. Some people choose to be slapped on the bank of the river bed and stick to their own small world; some choose to follow the current and chase an unknown destiny. In this torrent, everyone is faced with the choice of life and death, the choice of the future and the past.
Their fates are intertwined in the streets of Nanjing, from the morning light of the Purple Mountain to the night of the Qinhuai River, from the sycamore trees of Nanda to the turbulent waves of the Yangtze River. Every encounter is a re-examination of life; every separation is a profound reflection on the future. In this encounter about life and death, how will they choose? Will you be swallowed up by the torrent of the times, or will you go against the current and write your own legend?
Purpose: The growth of contemporary youth in confusion and choices
