In the midsummer of 2000, Chengdu Shaocheng still hid the slow time that had not been disturbed by commercialization. The old alleys were covered with gray tiles, the bluestones were wrapped in the shade of locust trees, and the fragrance of tea bowls mixed with the heat of hot pot filled the streets with fireworks. The wind of the millennium is blowing through Chengdu, and the old and new eras are quietly colliding. Old-fashioned pagers and candy bar mobile phones are alternating. The stable iron rice bowl is gradually loosening. Countless young people are rushing into the unknown in this city.
Chen Mo, a young man born and raised in Shaocheng, and Lin Haitang, a girl from southern Sichuan who came to Chengdu to work alone, met by chance under an old locust tree due to a sudden thunderstorm. An old umbrella brings together two lives, and tenderness arises from the ordinary interactions. However, the gap in family status, family prejudices and real turmoil that lie before them have already been undercurrents. In four years, can they keep this pure love and find a stable home amidst the fireworks of the Great Wall?
