Xian gives up and leaves with Cong
One late night, Cong appeared downstairs. He really couldn't let go of Xian and expressed his willingness to start everything over, including accepting the child; Xian firmly believed that the existence of the child reminded him that everything would never be the same again.Hui doesn't want her daughter to be lonely like herself all her life. She feels that Cong is the only person that Xian can hold on to, so she tries her best to save her. Cong makes a last-ditch effort and invites Xian to go to Chongqing to fight against the Japanese and live a new life in the rear area. Hui encourages Xian to follow Cong..
On the eve of her departure, Xian stayed in front of Zhi's cradle. When it was time to say goodbye, she realized how much she missed this child.She finally stopped at the dock. As a mother, she simply couldn't abandon her child.She let Cong down again.Cong heard this, with deep disappointment on his face, but soon he nodded in understanding. Seeing Cong's figure slowly disappearing into the crowd, Xian finally burst into tears uncontrollably.
