"Rose in Shanghai" tells the story of Xinjiang teenagers Xia Youxi and Jiang Beichen who met in a high school class in high school in Xinjiang. From their first meeting in Urumqi to Xiuzhou Middle School in Jiaxing, to their time together in Shanghai, it is a story of youth that spans mountains and seas.
Xia Youxi's heart palpitated when she first met Jiang Beichen in the training center. The more than forty hours of journey on the green train made this feeling grow quietly. After entering Xiuzhou Middle School, he approached silently in the name of a fellow villager. The side by side in class, the gaze on the side of the playground, and the whispers in the late night all concealed a love that he dared not express.
A quarrel over a notebook unexpectedly revealed Xia Youxi's feelings. Jiang Beichen's candid response put the relationship between the two into a delicate balance, but also gradually made their hearts clear in their daily interactions - from deliberately maintaining a sense of proportion to unconscious concern, the emotions slowly fermented in the warm sunshine of winter and the cherry blossoms of spring.
After the college entrance examination, the pomegranate wood rose pendant witnessed the connection between hearts. Their stories include not only the nostalgia and growth of leaving their hometown, but also the pure love that transcends regions and themselves. They bloom as tenaciously as roses in Shanghai, leaving a mark that will never fade in time.
