Synopsis of the story of "The Shadow of Flowers"
In Shanghai during the troubled times of the Republic of China, Lin Wange, a young child, witnessed her mother being abandoned by her family due to illness, and determined to become an independent woman. She became a doctor by virtue of her talent, but when she was treating Shen Xu, a rich man, she fell into a secret engagement dispute. Shen's mother pressured her to give up Shen Xu. She struggled between morality and desire, and finally chose to let go in order to fulfill Shen Xu's dream of studying abroad. After the war spread to Shanghai, Lin Wange devoted himself to field medical treatment, but unexpectedly reunited with Shen Xu and witnessed him becoming a cold-blooded military doctor. On the eve of liberation, she became a medical tool for military special agents, but rescued the revolutionary wife Shen Xu in desperate circumstances. In his later years, Lin Wange wrote his memoirs in a mental hospital and discovered that love and hate in his life were the epitome of women's fate in the tide of the times.
