This is not only a story, but also the lives of many ordinary people. Taking the early years of the Republic of China as the starting point, follow the steps of Zeng Xiaosan, a free-spirited kid, and walk into his life and the lives of those around him. As the sun rises and the moon sets, their joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows fill their life trajectories one by one, paying homage to their ordinary and brave years. Just like the Zeng family who struggled against the world but had to face the decline of their family fortune, and the Niu family who once dominated the world but had no place for their bloodline. Zeng Xiaosan's real name is Zeng Fansheng, and he was a member of the Zeng family until he was fifteen years old. Later, in order to avoid the disaster of being a young man, he hurriedly moved into the Niu family, changed his name to Niu Bensheng, and became a member of the Niu family. The knife of time was unscrupulous in his short life, but he often recited the ancient saying: It's a cold day. This is a tribute to old friends I have met and those I have never met.
