Wisteria Ci

Shen Shulan, the third daughter of the Shen family in Linjiang City, grew up in the luxury and confinement of Wisteria Villa. His father, Shen Jingzhai, is a cotton mill tycoon. On the outside, his family is prosperous, but on the inside, it is full of strictness and indifference of old-fashioned ethics. As a new-style student, Shen Shulan embraces idealism and awakens in the words of "New Youth", but she has always been an "alien" who is out of place in the family. On the day of his father's sixtieth birthday, a strike broke out at the Chengxi Cotton Mill, and a long whistle pierced the glitzy illusion of the birthday party. Seeing the suffering of worker A Qiao and others, Shen Shulan left the meeting and rushed to the west of the city. In the chaotic streets, she met Lu Yanzhi, a normal teacher, who led her to face the cruelty of reality and ignited the dormant fire in her heart. After returning home, Shen Shulan was imprisoned by her father in the Wisteria Villa, trying to cut off her connection with "dangerous ideas". However, the imprisonment did not destroy her will, but allowed her to complete her transformation in silence. Her secret communication with Lu Yanzhi was like opening a gap in a high wall, allowing light and wind to flow in. When family interests collided fiercely with the tide of the times, Shen Shulan resolutely chose to break with the old world. From a bystander under the wisteria trellis to a witness who has devoted herself to the times, she uses her youth as an arrow to shoot into the unknown but destined vast world. This is not only the awakening history of a girl, but also the choice and cry of a generation at the crossroads of history.
