A bloodstained foot-binding cloth holds the sealed memory of a painful past and links two generations in their unrelenting search for freedom.
A modern university student is startled to find an unusual artifact in a museum: a Republican-era foot-binding cloth bearing dark brown bloodstains. Its brief description reveals the tragic fate of its owner, Song Zhiwei. One of the last victims of foot-binding in Liuxi Town, she was rescued by Lin Wanyun, a progressive female doctor, but ultimately sacrificed her life in the struggle. Deeply shaken, the student travels to the long-changed Liuxi Town to piece together the truth of history.
The bloodstains are silent, but a glimmer shines on. It illuminates the past and reflects the unceasing road to freedom.
Theme: None.
