In the countryside, Ye Wenhua married Li Xueqian, a young, educated woman sent down to the villages, and protected her like a princess.
In 1983, Li Xueqian was accepted into Qingmu University. But when she went to get a divorce, bringing Ye Wenhua's mother along, Ye Wenhua, who had transmigrated, chose to divorce her outright in the face of such an unfair marriage.
When they met again, Li Xueqian discovered that the country bumpkin she once knew had become a mountain she could never hope to scale.
