Shanghai Dust Dream

In Shanghai in the 16th year of the Republic of China, the tide of the Huangpu River swept up the hustle and bustle of the ten-mile foreign market, and also swept up the broken love between Shen Zhiyi and Gu Yanchen. In the past, a famous actor in the big world and the young master of the Gu family once decided to live a private life based on their loneliness and bravery, but in the end they were defeated by the disparity in family status and the power of the family. When the wind swept away the young sincerity and blew them into two different paths, Shen Zhiyi stood in the rain curtain of the Gu family's old house and finally saw clearly: it was not Gu Yanchen that she missed, but the person who loved him regardless of everything. With tears streaming down her face, she looked back step by step, but in the chaotic world, she had no choice but to move forward. From then on, the romance remained the same, and people were separated from each other. Shen Zhiyi put away her emotions and stayed alone on the stage. Amidst the manipulation of worldly vision and fate, she struggled but firmly walked out of her own way. This is a melancholy elegy about the romance of the Republic of China, the end of youth and self-growth. It is also the epitome of countless individuals being blown away by the wind in troubled times, but still moving towards the sun.
