The White Olive Tree
On iQiyi
A war-trauma romance following two idealistic people separated by violence and reunited through persistence, balancing intimate character work with the weight of PTSD and loss.
During an interview mission in the turbulent East Country, Song Ran, a female reporter from Liangcheng Satellite TV, came across a sudden danger. Thankfully, Li Zan, a Chinese explosive engineer who volunteered in the East Country, was able to save her. After multiple interactions, Li Zan discovered that despite appearing weak on the outside, Song Ran was brave, strong, and full of justice and kindness. The same ideals and compatible souls ignited the love between them. A sudden bombing attack ended their budding relationship, and they fell into a trough of life after returning to China and even losing contact with each other. By chance, they came across each other again, and gradually, their lives got back on track. Together, they planted the seeds of the white olive tree.
