Ten-year-old Han Xuemei lives in a lively courtyard house in Beijing. The diary assignment assigned by the school became her window to observe the world. This year, she recorded what she saw and heard in 365 days with childlike and sensitive writing.
In the small green brick courtyard, there live all kinds of couples: the dignified uncle and the aunt who abide by the rules, the second uncle and his wife who plan carefully for their livelihood and quarrel constantly, the sister-in-law's family who pursue refinement but can't hide their exhaustion, the simple and nagging Uncle Sun and his wife, and their gentle parents. New Year greetings in the first month, relatives moving around, worries about starting school, daily life in the neighborhood... What adults call "marriage siege", in Xuemei's eyes, turns into the silence of the eldest uncle's family, the sound of abacus at the second uncle's family, the cold coffee at the sister-in-law's family, and countless sighs and smiles under the trivial light and shadow.
She recorded the quarrels, compromises, tenderness and helplessness in an ignorant manner. In the four seasons of the courtyard and the changes in human relationships, she ignorantly touched the complex taste of "home" and "love". The 365 diaries are like 365 pieces of a puzzle, piecing together a most realistic picture of marriage in the world of fireworks. From an innocent perspective, it is the most authentic ups and downs of life.
