The movie "Jiangnan: Waiting for You Where Love Begins" is adapted from Kang Rui's novel "Moonset Gusu", which tells the story of the 20-year love and life experience between Meng Yao (played by Lai Yumeng) and Lu Xiao (played by Liu Dongqin) since their student days in Suzhou, a city full of classical romance.

What will be the final performance of the two young actors is yet to be revealed when the film is released.
The film combines the love story of youth with the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, so that the audience can follow the footsteps of the two protagonists in the story to travel around Suzhou and feel the poignant love together. It is reported that most of the scenes of the film were filmed in Suzhou, Pingjiang Road, Tiger Hill, Humble Administrator's Garden, Canglang Pavilion, Keyuan, Master of Nets Garden, Beita Temple, Dinghui Temple, Twin Towers, Xiangmen Ancient City Wall, Panmen Scenic Area, Qilishantang, Qionglong Mountain, Xiangxue Sea, Xishan Island, Mingyue Bay, Jinxi Ancient Town, Qiandeng Ancient Town, Tongli Ancient Town, Luzhi Ancient Town, and all representative attractions and landmark buildings in Suzhou, including Tiancizhuang Campus of Soochow University, Suzhou Campus of Chinese People's University, and Provincial Suzhong University, will appear in the film.
