Lu Zhihua from Chengdu has the aura of being a top student, but her confusion about the future is hidden in the light of the screen; Yu Shuyun from Shanghai is struggling with the expectation of "stableness", and her tossing temper makes her swirl with yearning and bumps.
1,600 Kilometers is the distance on the high-speed rail ticket, the messages he edited and deleted, and the grievances she hid in her draft box. From the wandering in the dormitory to the fireworks of renting a house; from the nights when she studied hard for a certain direction, to the rhythm he slowly found in the workplace - those unspoken hesitations and the silence across the screen were all the footprints of two young people.
The bond between childhood sweethearts slowly strengthened in the wind of two cities. Is there any fixed standard answer to the happiness they pursue? It was hidden in the details that he remembered her taste, it was the determination that she was saving her days to go to, and it was also the look that she slowly encountered on their respective roads and felt "worth it" in her heart.
Hidden in unread messages are their love and growth.
Concept: Love is never an add-on to life, but a "coordinate system" against all uncertainties. Work, confusion, and the speed and slowness of time are all just noise in the background - the distance of 1,600 kilometers is to make the idea of "wanting to run to you" clearer; the hesitation in unread messages hides the softness of "fear of losing you"; the fireworks from the dormitory to renting a house eventually circle back to the details "related to you". In their lives, love is never an "outside" part. The bond between childhood sweethearts grows into life itself in the care and concern day after day - it is not the work that fills the days, but the matter of "loving you" that makes all the trivial things worthwhile.
