Water Street

In 1998, the national economic situation recovered slightly, and reform and opening up was in the "Southern Speech Period." At this time, some British people came to M City to do business, and some teahouses were established one after another, which were places for M City business leaders to drink tea. Chen Ping is a Chinese teacher in M ​​City and meets Wu Xue, a girl from a teahouse. She was originally the only daughter of a rural family outside the county town. She worked in a teahouse after finishing high school. The two fell in love. In M City, they walked through the old streets, the golden coast, and the water streets, and also tasted the sweetness of love. But an unfair fate eventually befell them. The government states that language teachers at universities must be able to speak English, and British people want regular literature classes. As a result, Chen Ping, who could not speak English, received a letter of dismissal. Chen Ping was euphemistically assigned to work in Peking by the school. Chen Ping tried hard, but his rudimentary English skills were still unable to support his on-the-job tasks. In order to survive, Chen Ping had to break up with Wu Xue. That night, he softly hummed a song beside the bed. Wu Xue asked what song it was, and he said it was a campus ballad and sang it to her. Before leaving, she gave Chen Ping a letter.
