In 19th-century China, a seven-year-old girl named Lily is paired with a laotong, “old same,” in an emotional match that will last a lifetime. As the years pass, Lily and Snow Flower send messages on fans, compose stories on handkerchiefs, reaching out of isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments.
