Viva La Vida: Synopsis
Ling Min (Li Gengxi), a girl with uremia, meets brain cancer patient Lü Tu (Peng Yuchang) by chance. The two young people have very different personalities, but each brings colour into the other's life. They go through misunderstandings, setbacks and trials, and in the end love lets their fragile lives release boundless strength. The film is the final part of director Han Yan's "Life Trilogy" and is partly based on the non-fiction report "The Most Pragmatic Marriage Deal, the Most Heartfelt Eternal Promise".
