Before World War II, there was a beautiful girl named Max in London, England. There was a young man named Cruise who was poor and could not give Max gifts like rich men. He expressed his love in a unique way. He waited at the intersection where Max passed every day. When Max arrived, he followed her and whistled for her. He whistled the same tune every time, and it was melodious and pleasant to the ears. Max had never heard this tune before. Once, she couldn’t help asking the name of the song, and Cruise told her that it was a song he composed himself, called “Baby Don’t Cry”. Cruise finally touched Max’s heart with his beautiful whistle, and the two fell in love. Max also learned to whistle this song. Soon, World War II broke out, and Cruise enlisted in the army and went to the front line. Max missed her sweetheart day and night, and went to church to pray every day, asking God to bless her sweetheart to return safely. But half a year later, bad news came: Cruz’s unit was defeated and almost wiped out. Cruz disappeared on the battlefield and his life or death was unknown. Max couldn’t bear this huge blow and fell ill. During her hospitalization, a young nurse named Stindy took good care of her. She told Stindy her love story with Cruz, and Stindy was deeply moved. Max also taught Stindy to play the song “Baby, Don’t Cry”.
After Max was discharged from the hospital, she went to the stations, docks or bars where soldiers frequented every month to look for Cruz. She blew the song “Baby, Don’t Cry” in her mouth. She believed that her Cruz would not die. As long as Cruz heard her whistle, he would appear in front of her. Many soldiers knew this young girl who whistled and enthusiastically helped her find out Cruz’s whereabouts, but unfortunately, Cruz had no news.
On this day, it was raining and the sky and the earth were gray. Max suddenly found a familiar back on the street, Cruz! Yes, it was her Cruz! Max’s blood was rushing up, and her breathing almost stopped. But why didn’t Cruz come to see her? She looked again, and found that Cruz’s arms were gone, and his sleeves were empty. She immediately understood: Cruz avoided her because he was disabled and was afraid of dragging her down. Suddenly, tears blurred her eyes.
Max called out affectionately: “Cruz!” But Cruz had already crossed the road. Max chased him desperately, and a truck happened to rush over and knocked her to the ground. She was sent to the hospital for rescue, but died of her serious injuries. Before she died, she realized that the man was not her beloved Cruz. She asked Stindy, who came to visit her, to help her find Cruz and tell him that she could not be his wife in this life, but she would marry him in the next life. Stindy agreed with tears.
Soon, a whistling woman appeared in the place where the soldiers appeared. She was Stindy.
Once, an officer heard Stindy’s whistle and asked her, “Is the song you whistled “Baby, Don’t Cry”? Stindy’s eyes lit up: “Yes, have you heard it before?” “Yes.” The officer told her that the troops under his command rescued several British soldiers besieged by the Germans in a battle. Among them was a corporal named Cruz, who later joined his troops to fight. During the battle, he heard Cruz whistle this beautiful song. Stindy jumped up excitedly: “What happened next?” “That battle was very fierce and cruel. My troops were beaten to pieces. I was also injured and fainted. When I woke up, I was lying in the field hospital and I didn’t know where Cruz was. Alas, terrible war!” Stindy was very depressed, but she firmly believed that as long as Cruz was still alive, she would be able to find him and fulfill Max’s last wish. A few months later, Stindy’s hospital was going to send some medical staff to the French front. She was the first to sign up, hoping to find Cruz. Soon she got her wish and came to a field hospital in France, where she was engaged in the intense work of treating the wounded. In her spare time, she asked the wounded about Cruz’s whereabouts and whistled affectionately again and again. One day, a sergeant with a head injury came into the hospital. He had been unconscious. According to the British soldiers who sent him, he was likely to have escaped from a German prisoner-of-war camp. His name, unit, etc. were unknown. A few days later, the sergeant finally woke up, but his head, face and eyes were still bandaged. He was in a very low mood, and he would lose his temper and find faults at any time, and refused the treatment of medical staff. On this day, when he heard Stindy’s whistle, his body suddenly seemed to be hit by a bullet, motionless, and asked in a lost voice: “Max, are you Max?” Stindy concluded that he was Cruise, and was so excited that she decided to pretend to be Max temporarily, because Cruise might not be able to bear the blow of Max’s death. She walked to Cruise with tears, hugged him tightly, and choked and called: “Crew, is that you? I am Max!”
The two were very excited and hugged each other tightly. Finally, they couldn’t help but whistled the song “Baby Don’t Cry” together. The beautiful whistle echoed in the ward, and almost all the wounded and medical staff stopped their work and listened carefully. At this moment, everyone forgot the damn war, and their hearts were filled with warmth and romance.
The power of love is unmatched. The beloved woman unexpectedly appeared beside him, making Cruise cooperate with the doctor’s treatment obediently. His injuries gradually healed, and he would be able to see the light again soon. But Stindy became more and more depressed day by day: Cruise loved Max deeply. When his eyes healed and he found that the woman in front of him was not his sweetheart, would he collapse mentally? []
In two days, Cruise could take off the bandage. Stindy went to the dean to explain the truth and asked to be transferred to another hospital. The dean agreed. Stindy came to Cruise’s ward. She kissed him on the forehead affectionately and said to him calmly: “Dear, I have to transfer to another job. When the war is over, we will meet again in London!”
Cruise held Stindy’s hand tightly and said affectionately: “Max, please remember that whether you are alive or dead, Cruise’s heart will always be with you.”
These words made Stindy burst into tears. She restrained her emotions and played the song “Baby Don’t Cry” with Cruise. The graceful and beautiful melody once again washed away the haze of war in people’s hearts, allowing everyone to see the dawn of peace and tranquility. The war was finally over, and Stindy returned to London. The first thing she did when she came back was to go to Max’s grave and tell Max that Cruz was still alive. In addition, Stindy also plucked up the courage to reveal her wish: she was willing to replace Max and accompany Cruz for the rest of his life.
When Stindy squatted in front of Max’s grave and muttered to herself, a handsome British lieutenant appeared behind her. The lieutenant stared at Stindy’s pretty and charming back and suddenly whistled. Stindy’s heart moved, and she turned around and found that the lieutenant was both familiar and unfamiliar. She asked curiously: “Excuse me, who are you? Do you know Miss Max?” []
The lieutenant shook his head slowly: “No, I don’t know her. But, Miss Stindy, I know you. Do you remember the injured sergeant in the field hospital in France? I am him.” Stindy was stunned. The lieutenant’s name was Yi Kangdi. During the war, he was captured by the Germans. In the prisoner-of-war camp, he met Cruz, who was also captured, and the two became close friends. Cruise told him about his love with Max and taught him to whistle. They played “Baby, Don’t Cry” every day to pass the time. Later, they conspired with other prisoners of war to escape and succeeded, but Cruise was shot and killed while covering Yi Kandi. []
The seriously injured Yi Kandi was later rescued by the British army and sent to the field hospital where Stindy was. When Stindy played the familiar “Baby, Don’t Cry”, Yi Kandi thought she was Max. He learned from Cruise’s description that Max was a kind and gentle girl. He couldn’t bear to tell her the truth that Cruise had died, so he pretended to be Cruise, thinking that fortunately his heart, face and eyes were bandaged at that time, and Max couldn’t recognize him. He planned to wait until his wounds healed before telling everything.
When Stindy was transferred from the hospital and Yi Kandi regained his sight, he found the dean, who told him the truth. He was deeply moved by Stinti’s kindness and vowed to find Stinti and express his love to her as soon as the war was over.
Before he finished speaking, Stinti was already in tears. At this moment, the two sincere and kind hearts were tightly attached to each other. []
Half a year later, Yi Kandi and Stinti entered the palace of marriage. On the day of the wedding, they embraced each other and came to Max’s grave, asking Max in the underworld to bless them with a happy marriage and a long life together. They believed: Max must have seen her beloved Cruise in heaven, and the two will definitely stay together forever!
