College graduate Chen Zhiyuan left Nanjing and went south to Guangdong. From an intern in a foreign trade company to a salesman in a Shenzhen electronics factory, he experienced growth and transformation during his wandering years of working. When he first arrived in Foshan, he met his godfather Zhou Qiang and his family, who were both teachers and friends, and felt the warmth of home in a foreign land. After moving to Shenzhen, he had emotional interactions with the lively female assembly line worker Huang Xiaowen and the gentle quality inspection team leader Liu Yuqing, but they all ended in vain due to practical reasons.
Until he met Zhang Yating, a Hakka girl from Longyan, Fujian, the two knew each other and fell in love, but they faced strong opposition from the woman's family. The Hakka people's traditional concepts, high betrothal gift requirements, and expectations of returning to their hometown to marry have all become real obstacles to love. Chen Zhiyuan must establish a firm foothold in his career and at the same time prove that he is worthy of trust in order to overcome the geographical and cultural barriers and protect this hard-won relationship.
