Sixteen Years of Waiting for a Reunion

Sixteen years, 5840 days, can forget many people, but not enough to forget one person. In 2008, in the high school library, an anonymous bookmark fell between the pages of her book: "There is light in your eyes." He is Gu Yu, the proud son of heaven, and she is Su Wanxing, a poor transfer student. Under the starry sky on the rooftop on the eve of the college entrance examination, an unfinished kiss and "see you in Beijing" became the most solemn agreement in youth. Then fate turned: her mother was critically ill, so she tore up the admission letter and told the first lie "for your own good". He went north to Tsinghua University, and she went south to Shenzhen. The two parallel lines extended infinitely in time. In these sixteen years, they passed each other three times: The most recent time, in 2015 at Pudong Airport, she cried while holding an old book signed by him on the departure floor, while he closed his eyes in the waiting room upstairs. She thought he had flown away long ago, and he thought she was married. Each is struggling in the deep waters of life: she is self-study and starting a business amidst the roar of the assembly line machine, while he is stubbornly waiting for someone who will not show up in the early morning in the laboratory. It wasn't until the winter of 2021 that a commercial quotation made the two names collide again. Sixteen years of time suddenly collapsed, and 5840 days of silence were waiting for the sound to come to fruition. When they reunited, she bore the scars left by depression, and he bore the edges sharpened by long waiting. It is not a continuation of youthful impulsiveness, but a conscious choice of adults: It turns out that we have all grown up into mountains that can stand side by side. "
