About This Novel

Starting from their youthful encounter in the Fuping countryside in 1985, Liang Jianjun and Lin Wanxiu fell in love with each other in the poor and simple 1980s, but were torn apart by traditional ethics, family resistance, and the gap between urban and rural areas. In the following decades, the two traveled to their hometown of Fuping, Tongchuan Mining Area, Weinan City, and Xi'an City. They separated and reunited during the wave of migrant workers, urbanization reform, industry rise and fall, and the ups and downs of the years, and they cared about each other. They overcame youthful regrets, middle-aged misunderstandings, life hardships, and worldly criticism, and watched their hometown transform from adobe farmhouses to beautiful countryside, Tongchuan transform from resource industry and mining to a new cultural and tourism city, Weinan transform from a small town market into a prosperous urban area, and Xi'an transform from old city streets to an international city. In the end, when people reach middle age, they lose the stubbornness of youth, reconcile with past regrets, keep their original intentions and deep feelings, take root in their hometown in Guanzhong, and stay together for the rest of their lives, interpreting the longest and most tenacious years of affection for ordinary people.
