The Waning Snow Moon

In the eyes of others, he is a young ice sculptor who has won a slew of international awards, a figure drawing plenty of attention after Harbin became a popular tourist destination.

But in Hai Li's youth, he was the "Crane City boy" who carved ice and sculpted snow to persuade her to spend winter break back home. He was the simple-hearted friend who carried her through the woods and snow, and the wild young man who dove bare-chested into an icy lake during the winter fishing season.

Her "Crane City boy" was originally supposed to stay on the snowy railway line and take over the family job. She was the one who brought him out of the snow-covered forests and into her world...

When she was seventeen, she confessed her feelings to him and was rejected.

Years later, she had put down roots in Hangzhou and secured a teaching position, while he had settled down in Harbin.

This winter break, they meet again on Central Street.
