Bamboo Flute Heals Broken Palms

"The Bamboo Flute Soothes the Broken Palm" is an affectionate love song that spans half a century. It tells the touching story of Lin Zhangyue, a girl with a broken palm who was cursed by fate, and Chen Zhusheng, a mute boy who was born aphasic. They spend their lives together amidst worldly prejudices and hardships. Lin Zhangyue was considered "unlucky" by her family because of her palm prints, and was abandoned in the mountains at the age of six. She met Chen Zhusheng, who could not speak but could blow the entire mountain with bamboo leaves. In this new family, the two "incomplete" souls warm each other and grow together. Chen Zhusheng resolutely dropped out of school to support Lin Zhangyue's studies and supported her future with silent sacrifice; Lin Zhangyue responded to the ridicule of the world and the tricks of fate with firm protection. After experiencing separation and illness, low self-esteem and struggle, Lin Zhangyue took the initiative to propose marriage, and the two finally got married despite the secular world and inner demons. After their marriage, Lin Zhangyue lost her hearing and voice due to illness, but Chen Zhusheng never left her, using her heartbeat as her ears and his eyes as her voice. They raise children and become talented people, return home to let go, break fate by staying together, and fight back the past with happiness. As time went by, Chen Zhusheng died of illness in his later years. At the funeral, Lin Zhangyue revealed the secret that had been hidden for half her life - she had long since recovered her hearing, but chose to continue living in his silent world. In the end, she recalled the past in the snow and reunited with her lover on the other side. The work depicts in delicate strokes how two souls exiled from the world find their complete selves in each other's eyes. Like dodder flowers twining around trees, like streams embracing mountains and rivers, their love grows endlessly over the years, testifying that true love has never been defined by any lines or limited by any words.
