In the early 1960s, China's historical picture showed an endless wave of educated youth going to the countryside. It was a time when youth and ideals were intertwined, and sweat and tears coexisted. In that special era, tens of thousands of urban youths responded to the country's call, packed up their bags, and embarked on a journey to the vast countryside. Some of them are passionate idealists, eager to spread their youth in the vast fields; some are confused and uneasy, full of anxiety about the unknown future. The Northeast, this black land, has become a destination that countless educated youths both yearn for and fear with its vast expanse, rich products, and unique charm of coexistence of severe cold and scorching heat.
The countryside in Northeast China was a rough and vivid picture at that time. The white snow in winter, the revival of all things in spring, the lush greenness in summer, and the golden ground in autumn. The four seasons change, each with its own style. However, for the educated youth who have just arrived, the most unforgettable thing is the thick black soil and the biting cold wind. The farmers here are hard-working and simple. They farm in the most primitive way and live with the most sincere emotions. Their smiles hide their love for life, and their eyes sparkle with awe for the land. In the Northeast in the 1960s, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter. The earth was covered with a thick layer of white snow, and the cold wind was so cold that it made people's cheeks hurt. In this era, young intellectuals responded to the country's call and embarked on a journey to the countryside. Lin Fanghua was one of them. Let's take a look at how the little young man with a lot of space outsmarts the scheming woman and wins both career and love.
