Letters from the Depths of the Sycamore Tree

Architect Lu Shiyuan returned to his hometown of Nanjing after his marriage broke up and took over the renovation project of an old Republic of China house left by his grandfather. While cleaning out the old house, he accidentally found an old letter written in 1943 under the floor - a confession written by war reporter Shen Zhiyuan to his lover Lin Wantang under artillery fire, a letter that had never been sent. In the second-hand bookstore called "Shiguang" on the corner, he met the owner Su Nian. A man who is accustomed to measuring everything with reason, and a woman who uses old books to protect her memories, have an intersection because of a letter that spans eighty years. As the investigation deepens, the story of Shen Zhiyuan and Lin Wantang gradually emerges - love in the flames of war, unfinished agreements, and a truth buried by history. In the process of repairing this old house, Lu Shiyuan was slowly repairing the invisible cracks in his heart. This is a story about two generations, two letters, and two sycamore trees. About the words that cannot be said, about the meaning of waiting, about how love can grow again in the ruins.
