An era narrative spanning the emotional spectrum of three generations, taking the fourteen-year growth history of Zhou Xu, a post-90s young man, as the axis, weaving two unforgettable love affairs, the joys and sorrows of three families, and the rebirth of an industrial city in the throes of transformation. In the spring of 2012, 18-year-old hairdresser apprentice Zhou Xu resolutely returned to his hometown of Fushun from Benxi for a vague love that started on QQ, and started a youthful love song with Su Minghui, a girl from a vocational school, as fierce as the summer sun. This relationship ended abruptly in the autumn of 2016, leaving behind a back full of Bana flower tattoos and a self-exiled soul. When he fell into the abyss, Gu Yao, who had been secretly in love with him for five years, reached out to help him. For the next nine years, this gentle and tough girl traveled from Fushun to Beijing and back to Fushun as a photographer, always waiting silently within the radius of his life. She was the one who sent him to the hospital when he was drunk and had stomach bleeding, the one who accompanied him when he lost a loved one, and the one who opened a studio opposite when he decided to take root in his hometown. At the winter solstice of 2025, Zhou Xu finally reconciled with the past and proposed to Gu Yao. In the summer of 2026, the two held a wedding on the north bank of the Hun River in Fushun. With a ceremony that spanned the city's memory, they brought an end to fourteen years of youth and waiting, and also wrote a prelude to the rest of their lives. This is not a simple story of "white moonlight and cinnabar mole", but a life fable about "crossing the river" and "becoming the light": Su Minghui is the light of the scorching sun that burned people's eyes in youth, Gu Yao is the warm and firm vigil light in the long dark night, and Zhou Xu himself is the light source that finally ignites from the heart after being lost and can illuminate others.
