城深不见旧时人
Sculptor In The Rain
Yang Nian'an, who was born in a barren mountain village, walked through the long muddy mountain road to study. In a rural primary school, he and Wen Wen were their childhood sweethearts, and a promise to be together when they grew up was hidden in the scratches on the worn-out desks; in a rural middle school, the young man's mind became confused and heated up, but he was deliberately separated by the other's family due to the disparity in family backgrounds; after entering the city's key high school, the two had a short relationship. We met again temporarily, and our feelings were repeatedly pulled between the heavy studies and the reality. We were careful not to express our love. We studied hard all the way and squeezed into the top university in the provincial capital. We thought we could stay together after surviving the hardships, but the urban-rural divide, the gap in vision, the temptation of others, and the distance from different places hit us layer by layer. His childhood sweethearts were drifting away, and he was filled with regrets only when he was full of joy. He tried his best to get out of the mountains and fulfilled his promise of studying, but in the end he could not retain the purest heartbeat of his youth. He has a bright future and is full of knowledge, but looking back at the road he came from, the girl who accompanied him through the years of poverty has long since disappeared in the sea of people, leaving only a sad sadomasochism that lasted half his life and was not what he wanted.
