share time: 2025-10-14 00:30:13

Lin Wan, a Beijing advertising professional, returns to her grandmother's home in the Dabie Mountains after her grandmother's passing. While sorting through belongings, she finds a red cloth bag at the bottom of a trunk—inside is a faded half-diary from 1975, in which her grandmother wrote about a promise with educated youth Chen Mo: "When the hills are covered with azaleas, we'll get married." But Chen Mo disappeared suddenly after fighting a forest fire, and her grandmother waited a lifetime. To fulfill her grandmother's wish, Lin Wan sets out on a journey to find the truth and unexpectedly meets Zhou Ming, a young man guarding the mountains—he is Chen Mo's grandson. Together, they search for witnesses from that year and learn that Chen Mo suffered from amnesia due to a head injury while fighting the fire, was adopted by a family at the foot of the mountain, and only remembered "going to find the girl in the floral dress" before he died. On Qingming Festival, Lin Wan buries her grandmother's diary under the azalea tree on the top of the mountain. Zhou Ming hands her a seedling that Chen Mo planted back then: "The root should come home." As the wind blows, the red cloth bag slips and a crumpled note from Chen Mo falls out: "If I forget you, you must remember to find me."
