In the turbulent era of the last century, when new and old ideas collided fiercely, an ordinary and true love story quietly unfolded.
The heroine's name is Lu Meiren. She has recently married her husband. Although her life is dull, it is also full of warmth. However, fate ruthlessly tore apart their happiness. After the war broke out, the government began to capture young men and recruit them into the army. Unfortunately, Lu Meiren's husband was selected and forced to leave his hometown and embark on an unknown journey. There was no news of him as soon as he left, as if he had disappeared into the vast sea of people.
Time flies by, and Lu Meiren is alone in her empty home, her heart full of longing and pain. She silently endured the pressure of life and struggled to make ends meet. The male protagonist is faced with a real problem: as he grows older, he longs to have a son to take care of him until the end of his life. In the social context of that time, carrying on the family line was regarded as one of the greatest responsibilities of men.
Although he had deep feelings for his wife deep down in his heart, the male protagonist finally reluctantly followed his wife's advice and decided to marry another wife. This decision caused him to fall into a deep contradiction. On the one hand, he was nostalgic for his old love, and on the other hand, he was worried about the future. After some struggle, he finally took the difficult step.
This story shows the various difficulties and helplessness experienced by people in that special era. Love seems so fragile in the face of reality, and traditional concepts are like a heavy mountain that makes people breathless. However, it is the persistence and dedication of these ordinary people that constitute the most authentic and moving picture of that era.
