Reunion Night, No Reunion

share time: 2026-03-30 06:02:05

On Lunar New Year's Eve, the Li family in a small Jiangnan town has decorated their home and cooked a feast, waiting for their son Lei, who has been away for three years, and his new wife to return for the reunion dinner. As the clock strikes midnight, there's still no knock at the door—only a delivery notice. Inside the package are the keys to their city apartment and a signed divorce agreement. Lei and his wife had decided to stay in the big city for the holiday but lied to their parents. Now the Li parents stare at the cold dinner, listening to their son's perfunctory voice messages, their eyes finally welling up with tears. This months-long planned reunion ends up with nothing but cold dishes and hidden sorrow between generations.
