Love in the 1980s

Yubo has just graduated from university and been assigned to work in a small village in his home province. Here he meets Liwen, who was his high school classmate (and deskmate), and with whom he was in love. He spends the next six months pursuing her, yet despite the obvious attraction and chemistry between them, she rejects his love (again) out of fear that she will hold him back in his career. The back story of political purges causes her to repress her feelings for him. Years later, Yubo runs into Liwen again at their high school reunion.
