A haunting, ghostly love story a la Romeo and Juliet of the Orient. In 1940s, during the Second World War, they met  each other on the bending shore of the Yangtze River. She fell in love with the much younger stranger. However, he couldn’t love her back, and she couldn’t love him if she would have known why he had hunted her down all over China to tell her a dark secret… 

A shamelessly original work of art that you can read legally outside China.
