308 Letters, One Great Love: A True Chinese Romance

What if your soulmate lived hundreds of miles away—and the only bridge between you was a pen?

Tsu Shenghao and Soong Ch'ing Ju met through poetry. What followed was a decade-long exchange of love letters that would become the heartbeat of a generation. Through war, illness, poverty, and separation, Tsu Shenghao wrote with passion, wit, and devastating honesty—crafting some of the most beautiful love prose ever penned in modern China.

These weren't just letters. They were lifelines. They were promises. And they were history in the making—because alongside this great love, Tsu was also translating all of Shakespeare's plays into Chinese, with the same ink, the same pen, and the same longing.

Their love ended too soon, but their words remain—testaments to a love both bound by time and free from it. Tender, tragic, and unforgettable, this is the story of a man who loved with his whole soul, and a woman who inspired greatness.
