28 years later, they meet again
Action one:
A middle-aged woman with tears, smoking in the car and listening to Teresa Teng’s “sweetness”. In the smoke circle were her lonely expression and the rotational car DVD player, that’s the best and newest players. Collecting kinds of DVD players have become a part of life, but in heart, that one is forever the best, real best. And out of window, was lonely cloud and dim dark day. This year, she has been 45.
Action Two:
He promised he would invite Teresa Teng to sing on their bridal ceremony, their Tin Wedding, Silver wedding and, if possible, gold wedding. She was 17, and he 19. At the time, Teresa Teng’s sweetness was the most famous song in the whole old Shanghai.
Action Three:
She begged he, she was always a proud, or arrogant woman. But hanging onto his skirt, she begged him not to leave her alone. When she received the wedding invitation card, on which were his and another strange girl-name, she felt like pierced by knife. He still left her alone, turned back and drove away without a single sorry or a kiss, even not a hug. While, a satisfactory smile-when the car passes her, she heard that “sweetness”, which was dancing in the car DVD player. She can’t help him on earn bread cake, but let him go. But, she said to herself:” music is still on.” That year, she was 25, and he 27. That year, he married a rich girl. That year, she left Shanghai.
Action four:
They both are successful financier in that prosperous city. They met in a prom: she was in a elegant black evening gown, he a trim suit. She passes him pretending not to see him. She drove to beach, saw the sunset, a cigarette, a song. The same song was dancing in two car DVD players. She did not notice that a little distance from her, “sweetness is on”. That year, she has been 45, and he 47.
