The span of years makes love deep. Twenty-five years have witnessed the vicissitudes of two lives in the context of the times, and also achieved the loyalty of two men to love.

Twenty-five years later, what is impossible to change?

25 years ago, a man proposed to the woman he loved. In the past 25 years, he used his dedication to his career to resolve his fiery love. 25 years later, when he stood in front of the woman again, his eyes were still passionate; 25 years ago, Another man lost his beloved wife. In the past 25 years, he turned this nostalgia into a kind of persistence. After 25 years, when his wife looked like he needed photos everywhere to remind him at any time, his belief was still firm.

The film intersperses the memories of twenty-five years ago and the reality twenty-five years later, making people feel that time has passed, and some people feel that the deceased is like this. In fact, in the memory, everything becomes unimportant, only the current moment is important. After all, the lover is still in front of her, and she has time to say the words from the bottom of her heart. So whether it was twenty-five years ago or twenty-five years later, the characters in the play looked the same, with the same eyebrows and eyes, the same smile, but after twenty-five years, there was a little more sparkle in the hair. The silver thread, or a beard that locks the secret heart on the lips.

A criminal case has entangled the fates of several characters for twenty-five years. Because of it, a young and beautiful woman died innocently; a man lost his closest friend and his love with the woman he loved, and a man lost his life. Losing his wife and almost losing his reason to live; a woman who sends her lover on a distant train and endures years of loneliness; the perpetrator gets his due, lingering like a walking dead. Two very affectionate men, in their perseverance and protection, inadvertently help each other unravel the knot and continue their respective lives.

In the face of fate, personal dignity and freedom have become vulnerable, and the grand national judicial system has become a sharp weapon for murder and a barrier to separate lovers in the hands of those in power who will retaliate and seek personal gain. Justice can only be served by lynchers manifest there. The misunderstood man is not actually a distorted mind, but a loner whose values ​​have not been assimilated by a system whose values ​​have not been distorted. According to the moral development stage theory of Lawrence Kohlberg and Stephen P. Robbins and others, the moral principle that does not produce any social harm but is beneficial to some members of society is a higher morality than the law.

Twenty-five years later, the woman he loved at the time asked him why he didn't come back to propose marriage earlier, and the man said that when you ran away to marry another man, I could only leave you and why didn't you accept me earlier; The warmth communicated and blended with each other through the sight, and the woman's brows finally stretched out. I was too young to accept it, and you were too young to express it, but the love that has been brewed over the years has become more mellow and long-lasting. Twenty-five years later, let people finally read all the meanings in those eyes.
