In the autumn of 1972, nineteen-year-old Chang Na married Cun Zhiyuan, a young technician known for his strictness and integrity, after her romance with her childhood friend Feng Chao came to nothing. Their marriage began not with “passionate love,” but with the belief that they were “a good match.” It unfolded in a residential compound for workers in a heavy-industry city in Northeast China. The two, so different in temperament, began with awkwardness, friction, and misunderstandings. Through the little moments of everyday life, they gradually grew closer and learned to understand each other. In the currents of the times and the tedium of daily life, sincerity and steadfast devotion forged a deep love, one more solid than romance, entwined with family affection and gratitude.
