Kiss and Cry

Kiss and Cry is a story about two girls who meet and gradually grow closer. Xu Kechun, diagnosed with depression, returns to school feeling unable to perform the emotions others expect of her. She keeps apart from the crowd as an observer, unsure how she should act.

Two girls

Xu Kechun dislikes being watched, yet wants to be seen. She is perceptive but vulnerable, and has grown used to pushing everything away. Lin Xueru, by contrast, is outgoing, lighthearted and humorous. She readily connects with people without controlling their pace, and has a quiet strength that makes her hard to turn away.

The girls test and reassure each other, pull together and struggle. They move from strangers to friends, and from friends to becoming each other’s one and only.
