Brief introduction to the content of "Pohu Porcelain Letter"
In the 31st year of the Republic of China, there was a severe drought in northern Jiangxi, and there was no harvest in Fenghuang Township, Duchang. Young craftsman Jiang Yanzhou bid farewell to his hometown, crossed the treacherous waters of Laoye Temple, and went to Jingdezhen to make a living. Before leaving, he made a lifelong commitment to Ding Wanxiu, a girl by the lakeside. He made a promise to return home and get married with a piece of Jihong porcelain he fired as a letter.
In troubled times, the merchant gangs of the porcelain capital are constantly fighting. The owner of the Raozhou Gang kiln was afraid of Jiang Yanzhou's porcelain making skills and suppressed him at every turn; his cousin of the same clan secretly intercepted the two's news for personal gain. A porcelain letter carrying lovesickness accidentally fell into Po Lake and drifted with the waves to Fenghuang Township, where it was picked up by Ding Wanxiu. From then on, the girl guarded a piece of porcelain, survived famine and turmoil, rejected all good relationships, and spent her whole life waiting for her return.
Jiang Yanzhou has been living in the porcelain capital incognito for more than seventy years. Every year he fires porcelain pieces and sends love letters to his hometown, but they never come to light. Across a lake of clear water, the two care about each other and miss each other for life.
Many years later, Ding Wanxiu passed away with regret, and before his death, he entrusted the porcelain to his grandniece Ding Nianyu. The young man embarks on the road of search, clearing away the layers of fog surrounding family grievances and ups and downs of the times, and uncovers the past that has been sealed for seventy-two years.
This is a deep love hidden between the fire and the lake. It is also a nostalgia epic of a generation of Duchang craftsmen who left their hometown and kept their promises. Porcelain is a letter, fire is an alliance, and a lake is a witness. The love, hate, joys and sorrows of ordinary people have, over the course of a hundred years, precipitated into the longest and most touching human legend.
