Story Introduction
A love story that begins with a sour tangerine by the river — and ends in the twilight snow, with words never spoken.
It's 1992 in a small riverside town in southern China. Sū Ní, the daughter of a wealthy trading family, sees Lín Yànzhōu — a veteran who just returned home — kneeling on the ground, helping a mute old man pick up scattered tangerines outside the Kǎi Gē disco hall. She charges clumsily into his life. He answers without bowing or scraping.
She decides. And she never looks back.
Her father sees class as the highest law. How could a wealthy merchant's daughter marry a veteran working a market stall? On the night she breaks with her family, the river wind is cold — but the red quilted coverlet her mother slips into her bag is scalding hot. She walks into the Lín family house with her luggage, and tells Grandmother Lín: "This road is mine. I chose it."
You follow their meeting, the village wedding with no parents to walk her down the aisle, the slow years of marriage — and at the end of Chapter 4, you choose:
Sweet — To hell with class. They stay poor and happy together.
Distant — Class pressure doesn't disappear; it just changes form. It starts with quarrels, ends with exhaustion.
Regret — The lung injury Lín picked up in the military takes him in his prime. She never gets to see him get better.
This is not a fairy tale of "marrying the right person." This is a test of one question: how far are you willing to go against the whole world, for one person?
