Introduction to a 70-Year-Long Love Story00:00:29

William Carter, 92, and Margaret Evans, 91, introduce themselves and the Chinese musical instruments they are holding, the erhoo and the gu, which they discovered more than 70 years ago while studying music in Paris. Their shared passion for these instruments led them to fall in love and write a piece of music together, vowing to perform it at graduation.

Separated by War and Time00:01:32

The outbreak of war in Europe separated William and Margaret. William was drafted, and Margaret's family was forced to flee, leading to their loss of contact for over 70 years. Both believed the other had died, yet William never married, keeping a space in his heart for Margaret and playing their unfinished song on his erhoo.

A Miraculous Reunion00:03:05

A few years ago, a veterans association contacted William, informing him that someone had been searching for him – Margaret. Their reunion was filled with tears of sorrow and gratitude. Margaret confirmed she never forgot their song, and though their graduation ceremony was long past, they were there to honor their promise.

William and Margaret explain that their performance is more than just music; it's a love story torn apart by war, buried by decades, but kept alive by memory. They assert that true love cannot be defeated by time or erased by war, urging the audience to witness their reunited heartbeats.
