Only then did everyone understand.
Why are there so many red beans in the wooden box left by the girl's grandmother?
A single red bean symbolizes a deep longing.
So many red beans—these represent Shen Peilan's endless longing and countless sorrowful sighs...
This time, the live stream chat for the gala seemed to freeze instantly.
The viewers sitting in front of the screen remained focused on the poem, unable to let it go for a long time.
At that very moment.
A low, somber intro suddenly began.
Wang Yueheng then appeared beside Xin Mengqi, who was looking through letters.
"Red beans grow in the south"
"It's something that happened a long time ago."
What does longing matter?
"Nobody cares anymore"...
He walked slowly through the alley.
She raised the microphone and sang softly in the dappled sunlight filtering through the sycamore trees.
The deep, magnetic voice sang along with the verses from the last letter Shen Peilan wrote.
It flooded into people's unsuspecting ears, knocking directly on the door of their hearts that were suppressed by this story.
The song has a slightly melancholic tone.
It's as if it's documenting Shen Peilan's poignant and tragic love story, which has long been forgotten by the world.
It also seems like a cold mockery of the mess that Zhao Xinmeng's love life is in.
It made those viewers with furrowed brows unconsciously fall into deep thought about their own love experiences.
at the same time.
As the camera zooms out...
A young girl in a red dress appeared on one side of the stage and danced gracefully to Wang Yueheng's singing.
Like a red bean of longing gently bouncing in a white dish.
"Drunk and asleep in the city that never sleeps"
Neon lights everywhere
"A scene of wanton passion unfolds in the wine glass..."
When Wang Yueheng sang this part.
The stage lights and shadows instantly transformed into an apartment building overseas.
The man who just spoke to the girl on the phone, swearing that he would never betray her.
He was embracing a blonde, blue-eyed foreign woman with one arm and holding a glass of red wine in the other, showing no remorse whatsoever.
He even gave his girlfriend on the other end of the phone a mocking look, who was once again swayed by his sweet talk.
When I saw this scene.
Countless spectators wore expressions of anger or lamentation.
Compared to the girl's maternal grandmother, Shen Peilan, who remained faithful to her love despite sacrificing her husband.
The scumbag in the picture, who's two-timing, is clearly an extreme counterexample.
Many couples in long-distance relationships also fell silent at this moment.
Many of them face the same challenges as the characters in the drama.
Far from home, separated from the one I love by thousands of miles.
Their relationship was occasionally shaken by the distance between them.
It has even led to acts of betrayal against one's partner...
"Most likely to forget the poems of the ancients"
"The thing I despise most is unrequited love."
"Holding onto love for fear of being laughed at."
"Afraid that people will see through it..."
When I heard a song that seemed to carry a sigh.
Those long-distance couples who want to deceive their partners and have affairs with two or more people.
It was like being struck by a sharp sword, directly hitting the last remaining sense of shame deep within my heart.
I thought of the scene in the story where Shen Peilan and her husband longed for each other amidst the flames of war.
Many couples in love who were watching the performance were suddenly overcome with self-blame.
I'm starting to feel ashamed of my past thoughts of betraying my lover...
