What happens

《爱情的边疆》(英語:Frontier Of Love)是2018年中国时代剧,由毛卫宁导演,高满堂编剧,殷桃、王雷、李乃文、吉马领衔主演,浙江卫视于2018年5月8日首播。 20世紀50年代末,北京廣播學院女大學生文藝秋愛上蘇聯功勳播音員維卡,並與之在北京結婚。蘇聯撤走專家後,維卡被迫離開中國。而文藝秋自願來到邊境城市黑河工作,擔任電台播音員,就是為了離維卡近一些。後來,維卡也來到黑河對岸的布拉戈維申斯克擔任播音員,他倆竟然通過傾聽對方廣播的聲音撫慰痛楚,傾訴思念。經過20年的漫長等待,文藝秋無奈與同事宋紹山結婚。中蘇關係好轉以後,收音機裡又傳來了中蘇友誼的歌曲,宋紹山也被他們的愛情故事打動,幫助文藝秋渡過窄窄的界江,與維卡見面。當暮年的文藝秋與維卡再次在北京見面的時候,彼此用播音語調再次傾訴思念,感動了在場的所有人。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
