Coastline Distance

Eighteen-year-old Lin Wei met 22-year-old Shen An, a finance student who had given up her ocean dream for reality, in a seaside bookstore. That summer, a vague relationship developed between the literary girl and the alienated store clerk, but it ended abruptly after a conversation about an "unreachable person." During the seven years, they each grew up: Lin Wei became a writer pursuing his literary dream, while Shen An struggled between reality and dreams. The distance does not cut off the connection, but makes some unspoken emotions stretch like the coastline - seemingly clearly visible, but always separated by an insurmountable tidal zone. When they reunited at the age of twenty-five, they finally confessed their feelings that had been hidden for many years. But the tide of fate once again pushed them in different directions: Shen An got the opportunity to do the Antarctic scientific expedition that he had dreamed of, and Lin Wei chose to let go and fulfill his dream. Two years later, an accident seriously injured Shen An, and the two reached a final tacit understanding in a hospital room in New Zealand - for some love, not being together can make each other a better version of themselves. From the first encounter in a seaside bookstore, to the first kiss under the city walls of Beijing, to the separation under the Antarctic starry sky, this relationship extends like a coastline, and finally reaches a warm and open end: true love can transcend possession and become the beacon in each other's lives and the wind under the wings. If you have ever loved someone who is out of reach, if you have given up something for your dreams, if you believe that some beauty lies not in the ending but in the process - this story will let you see that those seemingly unfinished emotions have actually completed the most precious mission in time.
