The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl]

Read

Set in the Republican era, this is the story of a bright, returned-overseas pianist and a cold, sheltered young lady.

Pianist Shen Xian grew up in England, but after suffering a devastating blow, she abandoned her studies and traveled thousands of miles to China. Lan Yuan is a young lady raised in Jiangnan, confined by the four walls of her deep ancestral home, where her parents taught her that a woman’s virtue lies in her lack of talent.

By chance, Shen Xian becomes Lan Yuan’s piano teacher. Though she initially only sought to earn a living, she soon fell in love with the young lady. This love gave Shen Xian the courage to overcome her past pain and the desire to rely on someone. Lan Yuan never imagined her stagnant life would be disrupted by another woman, but she willingly embraced her love for Shen Xian. Shen Xian showed Lan Yuan a different way for a woman to live, inspiring Lan Yuan to defy all obstacles and pursue her love.

Will you stop loving someone after suffering cruel heartbreak?

When Shen Xian desperately pleaded for reconciliation, Lan Yuan hesitated, staring at the tickets for their planned elopement. That single moment of doubt led to a seven-year separation and profound change. Years later, they meet again. Shen Xian challenges her: “It’s been seven years, Miss Lan. Why do you think you only owe me one cup of coffee?”

Their love was never a “rekindling”; Shen Xian never stopped loving her, and Lan Yuan only ever loved Shen Xian. Despite parental interference, illness, the malice of others, and the turmoil of the era, their love remains steadfast. In their love, they become their best selves.

The lingering trauma of war and the shackles of feudal thought restrict everyone. “Yuan Yuan, I am weak and helpless, I need you,” Shen Xian confesses. Lan Yuan replies, “Year after year, I remain the same; I am always here.”

When “Für Elise” rings out on the black and white keys, it is as if they met in the last century, finally finding each other after a hundred years of solitude.
