The work describes the stories of three families living in a small courtyard in the city in the 1970s, as well as their joys, sorrows, and separations as the times change. The work is divided into three parts: the upper part, the middle part, and the lower part. The upper part explains the growth process of the younger generation, the middle part tells about their love, marriage, joys and sorrows, and the lower part tells about their family ethics and the collision of concepts, reflecting some phenomena of modern society.
