Us and Them
Directed by René Liu
Produced by Tianjin Maoyan Weying Media
A tender, melancholic romance about two people separated by time and circumstance, exploring whether lost love can be rekindled across a decade of regret and longing.
Ten years ago, on a train home during the busy Spring Festival travel period, fate brings Xiaoxiao and Jianqing together. Like many young couples, they meet, fall in love, and strive to make it work, but eventually, the harsh realities of life make them drift apart. Ten years later, they run into each other again. Will they make the most of this second chance and rekindle what they once lost?
