The Tide Is Boundless

In 1977, 17-year-old Cheng Dashui encountered a drastic change in his life - his father suddenly encountered a mining accident. After dropping out of school, he had no choice but to take over his father's heavy mining lamp, step into the deep mine, and prematurely shoulder the burden of life. Three years later, childhood sweetheart Dafeng is about to graduate from technical secondary school. The huge identity gap stretched before his eyes like an invisible chasm. With the encouragement of his master, he resolutely went south to Wenzhou, the forefront of reform and opening up. Wandering in a foreign land, experiencing hardships. By chance, he rescued the girl Ami who was molested by a gangster, and the threads of fate were quietly intertwined. A few years later, the master's daughter Xiaojuan graduated from high school and followed in Dashui's footsteps to work in Wenzhou... The hearts of Ami and Xiaojuan were throbbing for Dashui at the same time. At the same time, Dafeng's younger brother Wang Pengcheng stepped out of the mountains with excellent results and started his own journey of struggle. Dafeng was assigned to a regional machinery factory, where she met the upright and capable Ren Mingyuan, and a new fate quietly unfolded... Dashui worked hard to start a business in Wenzhou; Xiaojuan's relationship with Ami brought him sweet troubles; Ren Mingyuan's love for Dafeng was firm and persistent; Wang Pengcheng encountered cold eyes and suppression in the workplace, but always held the belief: "There is justice in the world, and efforts will always be rewarded!" Over half a century of vicissitudes, they poured sweat and tears into their ideals, rising and falling in the torrent of the times. From the dark mines to the bustling business world, from ignorant youth to weather-beaten middle age, their fateful trajectories collided and intertwined with each other, and together they composed a long song of life with ups and downs and deep touching.
