Thirty-year-old Cheng Qinglan is drifting on both sides of the Atlantic - studying for a doctoral thesis in sociology at a world-renowned university in London, studying the invisible connections between people, and also studying the relationship between herself and the world.
Her life switches between the microphone at academic conferences and the boarding gate of flights. During the day, she discusses global issues, but at night she often spends her time alone under the street lights of a certain city.
Over the years, she has met different men: a boy who is as sunny as summer on campus, a precise and sharp manager in the workplace, and a stranger who laughs lightly while traveling.
They were like mirrors, reflecting her impulses, hesitations, and fragility, and illuminating her increasingly hard and tender heart.
Between constant encounters and departures, she finally understood:
The so-called love is not about finding someone you can rely on, but finding yourself who you can walk side by side with.
Intention: Her story is not about finding love, but about finding herself.
