19-Year age difference/teacher-student/redemption/under the age of 19
Forty-six-year-old Zhou Fuyan was illuminated by a young light in the ruins of his life.
The once resolute high school Chinese teacher chose to end his life with a razor and sleeping pills under the double blow of the breakdown of his marriage and the end of his career. However, he was accidentally rescued by 27-year-old Jiang Chuyun, a student who graduated nine years ago. The "problem student" who once had her drawing book torn up in public by her is now a dazzling newcomer who has won a design award.
In the haze of depression, an emotion that transcends the boundaries between teacher and student quietly grows.
She trembled in the night and grabbed the hem of her clothes, like a drowning man grabbing a driftwood
She knelt in front of the hospital bed, coaxing her to swallow the already cold porridge with a spoonful.
The 19-year age difference, the former teacher-student relationship, the daughter's doubts, the meaningful visit from her ex-husband - all worldly standards failed in front of their interlocked fingers.
When Zhou Fuyan took the initiative to kiss Jiang Chuyun's collarbone for the first time in the morning light, and when Jiang Chuyun put the apartment key into her still trembling palm, they finally understood:
Some love is not dependence, but two souls recognizing each other in pain.
Purpose: Warm redemption
