She couldn't help but pinch herself.

I wanted to convince myself that the musical scene before me was like something out of a science fiction blockbuster.

Is it reality or a dream?

Am I still dreaming?

And the one who was most touched.

No one could be more familiar with Wang Zhan, an overseas Chinese who had returned from abroad and was seated in the VIP section.

The timeline goes back three days.

A light drizzle was falling.

After returning to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors, Wang Zhan left his numerous entourage behind.

I came alone to an unmarked grave in the countryside.

They are buried here.

She was the woman he loved for life, yet he was never able to marry her properly.

Dressed in formal attire, Wang Zhan knelt on one knee and gently stroked the yellow earth on the grave mound.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.

At that time, he wanted to say so many things.

Words that have been bottled up in my heart for decades.

She choked up again.

I don't know how to express my feelings.

But now.

Through Wang Yueheng's powerful singing voice on stage.

Wang Zhan finally realized what was happening.

Knowing what you want to say.

I remember what I wanted to do back then.

If love tells me to keep going...

I will fight to the very end for love…

If only we knew the outcome today.

Back then, I was willing to take any risk and endure any hardship.

He also wanted to return to his homeland for the sake of his beloved and embrace her.

Looking towards Wang Yueheng singing on the stage.

Wang Zhan's thoughts also drifted back to decades ago.

Under a night sky dotted with stars.

A man, full of vigor and academic success, embraces his beloved beside a haystack in a farmhouse.

Facing the starry sky, he enthusiastically recounted his grand ambitions to her.

Talk to her about the current world situation.

He promised her a wonderful future together.

She excitedly described wanting to have a bunch of adorable babies running around everywhere.

One person carried two children to a foreign-owned photo studio to take the best-looking family portrait.

Although the girl only partially understood what he was saying.

But that didn't stop her from gazing at him with a smile, her eyes filled with adoration and love.

He got emotional while speaking.

The girl smiled and reached out to help him straighten his slightly disheveled clothes.

It's a pity.

This parting turned out to be a final farewell.

In a chaotic world, the beauty didn't wait for his return and lived out her life alone with regret.

Looking at the girl in the white dress dancing gracefully with a smile in her eyes.

Wang Zhan seemed to see the loving gaze of his beloved in his dream once again.

A wave of sorrow washed over me.

The camera panned across Wang Zhan, who was sitting in the VIP section with white hair.

The scene where he shed tears because he was saddened by listening to a song and missed his lover.

It was seen by tens of millions of viewers.

This immediately resonated with many people.

"My God, even Grandpa Wang Zhan cried while listening to the song..."

"She's probably thinking about something sad."

"It is said that he was forced to separate from his lover, and they were never reunited..."

“I remember that Abao in the novel ‘Blossoms’ was also full of emotional entanglements.”

"But in the end, he never found his true love."...

Those readers of "Blossoms".

At this moment, Wang Yueheng's singing reminded me of scenes from the novel.

Abao, who has experienced prosperity and achieved success in his career.

Ultimately, however, his love life ended in regret, and he died alone.

The novel's ending.

Abao received a call from his first love.

This was also the woman he had truly loved.

Just as the people around were having a great time.

The people at both ends of the landline held hands and microphones, yet remained silent.

In the end, Ah left with the words "Let's keep in touch when we have the chance" and silently hung up the phone.

"When the petals leave the flower"

A lingering fragrance...

"The fragrance faded after the wind and rain."

"No one comes to sniff it..."

The story in the novel ends abruptly in the author's narration.

And the moving singing continued...
