North and South Stars

In 1978 in Ice City, three children made their vows on a cinder track using the starlight refracted by glass marbles. No one thought that this agreement would involve forty years of grievances between the three families. Lin Yanli, a wild boy, went south to Shenzhen, and Zhao Mingyuan, the son of the director of an electronics factory, took away his first love; Yan Lei, a bookworm, went north to study, but he didn't know that his friend Su Hongmei was raising the daughter of his old enemy in a tailor shop; Gao Wanting cut off the notice from Peking University to stay in the shop and adopted Su Lili, an orphan girl of the enemy's blood. From fighting in Shenzhen to shootings in Moscow, business wars in Zhongguancun to kidnapping in New York, fate keeps playing tricks on the three souls. On a rainy night in 1988, Wanting's star-embroidered shirt was hidden in the fabric protected by Lin Yanli, but it was photographed by Zhao Mingyuan as "evidence of smuggling"; during the financial crisis in 1998, Yan Lei received an anonymous remittance from his biological mother; among the 2008 Olympic volunteers, the girl wearing the red star hat had Wanting's stitches, but she was Zhao Mingyuan's biological flesh and blood. In 2018, Lin Xiaoyang found an "IOU" with Zhao Mingyuan's name written on his father's belongings; Yan Mingyuan deciphered the star embroidery code left by his mother and pointed to Su Lili's birth certificate; Su Lili received a Russian signal from the space station at the Antarctic scientific research station - the three young people were forced to face the truth hidden by their parents. The star maps sewn into cloth, the constellations engraved on circuit boards, and the galactic codes hidden in the snow turned out to be confessions and redemption across time and space.
